The government will be conducting the Leyte-Mindanao interconnection project study that would establish an integrated grid and allow reserve electricity generation capacity to be shared by the three regional grids — Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. | |||
The study, which is estimated to cost P90 million, will be undertaken by the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) for a period of one year and another year for assessment. | |||
Energy Undersecretary Josephine Patricia Asirit said for the first time, the Aquino administration will implement the Luzon-Visayas-Mindanao interconnection grid to assure power stability in the country. | |||
At present, Asirit said only the Luzon and Visayas — through the Leyte grid — have interconnectivity. It will only be in this administration that the entire Philippine grid would be interconnected. | |||
She cited the current power situation in some parts of Mindanao where it experienced regular brownouts. | |||
With the Leyte-Mindanao interconnection in place, Asirit said, the Luzon grid which has 200 MW excess and the Visayas which can also export another 200 MW, power shortage in Mindanao can easily be resolved. | |||
The Leyte-Mindanao interconnection project was aimed at addressing the power shortage not only in Mindanao but the entire country as well. | |||
It includes the installation of about 455-kilometer overhead line and 23-km submarine cable with a maximum depth of around 1,000 meters below sea level. | |||
The interconnection project was originally designed for 250-kilovolt high-voltage density cable bipolar link with a total transfer capacity of 500 MW to 800 MW. | |||
It will start from the existing Ormoc Converter Station in Leyte and terminates at Kirahon Converter station in Northcentral Mindanao via Southern Leyte and Northeastern Mindanao. | |||
The Leyte-Mindanao interconnection is part of the long-term solution to resolve power shortage in the region. | |||
