THE National Grid Corp. of the
Philippines (NGCP) said Monday that it has implemented the necessary
preparations and precautions to minimize the impact of Tropical Storm Ramon on
transmission operations and facilities.
Preparations included ensuring the
reliability of communications equipment, availability of hardware materials and
supplies necessary for the repair of damages to facilities, as well as the
positioning of line crews in strategic areas, to facilitate immediate
restoration work.
NGCP’s Integrated Disaster Action
Plan (IDAP) prescribes these and other procedures to ensure the readiness of
all power transmission facilities expected to be affected by the passage of the
weather disturbance.
Meanwhile, Solar Philippines Tarlac
Corp. (SPTC) was allowed to connect its 100-megawatt (MW) solar farm to the
Concepcion substation of the NGCP via the construction of a new transmission
line.
The Energy Regulatory Commission
approved the transmission project provided that NGCP will operate the dedicated
transmission facility.
