The National Grid Corporation of the
Philippines (NGCP) has reported the successful energizing of the Ormoc-Kananga
230-kilovolt (kV) Line 2 at 8:17 p.m. Wednesday, saying it is now providing
feedback power to the Energy Development Corp.’s Upper Mafia and Malitbog
geothermal power plants in northern Leyte.
In an advisory issued Thursday, the
NGCP further stated that re-testing of the 150-mega volt amperes (MVA)
Transformer No. 6 at the Ormoc Substation has been completed while the damaged
bushing is being replaced.
The company said its personnel are
continuously trying to energize the damaged transformer while checking other
transformers at the Ormoc Substation for leakage reactance.
They have also begun transferring
the 150-MVA and 100-MVA transformers from the Compostela Substation in Cebu to
the Ormoc Substation to replace the damaged transformers in the facility.
Reconfiguration of the
Compostela-Daanbantayan-Tabango-Ormoc 230-kV line to be energized at 138-kV
began at 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Once the reconfiguration scheme is
finalized, the NGCP can deliver available power from Cebu to Ormoc.
The NGCP is also assessing the High
Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) converter transformer in Ormoc, and erecting an
Emergency Restoration System (ERS) for the Ormoc-Isabel 138-kV line.
Meanwhile, the company said it is
employing a parallel, simultaneous strategy of repair, replacement, and
reconfiguration for its affected transmission equipment, and is pooling all its
resources to restore, even partially, power transmission services by the July
31 deadline set by the Department of Energy, or earlier.
