Ingrid Power Holdings Inc., a unit
of AC Energy Inc., is seeking an approval from the Energy Regulatory Commission
to develop P566-million worth of dedicated point-to-point limited facilities to
connect its 300-megawatt diesel power plant in Rizal province to the
230-kilovolt Malaya substation of National Grid Corp. of the Philippines.
IPHI asked ERC to grant a
provisional authority or interim relief to develop and operate the connection
facility so it could start construction and timely achieve commercial
operations of the diesel plant.
“For IPHI to immediately perform
ancillary service…connecting the diesel plant to the NGCP Malaya substation is
an indispensable prerequisite,” the company said.
It said the construction of the
facility, seen to provide ancillary services to NGCP amid the influx of
renewable energy sources in the Luzon grid, would take about eight months and
would be done in phases.
IPHI said the ancillary service
procurement agreement with NGCP would only be executed once the power plant
passed the certification test, thus the timely approval of the application
would be crucial.
