CLARK FREEPORT ZONE, Pampanga, Sept. 24 (PIA) -- The construction of the P2.4 billion Phase III-B project of the Mexico-Clark dual transmission lines is expected to improve the power generation inside the Freeport. | |||
Thus said Clark Development Corporation (CDC) president and chief executive Antonio Remollo. | |||
Remollo added that “the Mexico-Clark transmission grid project will address the increasing power demand in Clark and ensure the quality and competitiveness of electricity inside the Freeport which has now more than 600 firms.” | |||
According to CDC assistant vice president for Security and Technical Services Teresito Tuitoyco, the construction of the project is expected to start December this year and to be operated by December 2012. | |||
Phase III project has a total cost of P3 billion that includes the new Clark Grid Sub-Station (Phase III-A, which is part of the power requirement of the new semiconductor plant), amounting close to P600 million. | |||
Tuitoyco said the completion of the dual 230 kilovolt (KV) lines will be upgraded to supply firms and industrial estates more reliable power. While the old dual 69KV lines which have already served its economic life, can be retired and sold to the local electric distribution utilities, he added. | |||
The other transmission line is being used by both Pampanga Electric Company 1 and 2. | |||
According to Tuitoyco, with the completion of Phase III, the transmission loop from Concepcion-Clark-Mexico will be completed and the energy requirement of the entire Freeport will be stable and competitive. | |||
The power interruption and fluctuation will be minimized substantially once the transmission grid is completed next year, he said. | |||
The entire Freeport is currently enjoying a steady and reliable power supply following the completion of the transmission projects. | |||
These include the Phase I-A and I-B 69KV line and load-end sub-station for Texas Instruments; Phase II of the Clark-Concepcion dual 230KV Grid sub-station; and the Phase III-A or the New Clark Grid sub-station and load-end sub-station for Phoenix Semiconductor of the Philippines Corporation (PSPC). | |||
The Phase I-A, implemented by Transmission Electric Corporation or Transco, and I-B implemented by CDC with dual 230KV lines and load end of Sub Station for Texas Instrument have been completed in July 2008. | |||
The government spends more than P770 million for the whole phases of the project, Tuitoyco said. | |||
“Clark can become another important assembly and test destination for electronics and other manufacturing firms because of this project,” Remollo said. | |||
Phase II is the Clark-Concepcion Grid Sub-Station, which cost more than P573 million, was completed in September 2009. All the transmission projects were funded by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM). | |||
Meanwhile, the CDC is currently facilitating meetings with appropriate agencies on the discounted power rate issues on two semiconductor firms inside Freeport. (WLB/JGB PIA3/CDC) | |||
