Meralco, NGCP begin restoring power lines damaged by Santi 10/31/2009 | 02:29 PM
The Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) and the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) on Saturday began restoring power transmission lines in Metro Manila and southern Luzon damaged by Typhoon Santi.
A total of 265 circuits, or 39 percent of the company’s customers, suffered power outages in Metro Manila, the Meralco said.
According to the NGCP, the brownouts in Metro Manila were primarily caused by the shutting down of two transformer units in its Sucat substation in Paranaque City, which experienced flooding due to the rains brought by the typhoon.
Several other transmission lines in Metro Manila and southern Luzon tripped due to winds caused by the Santi, which cut the power supply of half of NGCP’s Luzon grid on Saturday.
Meralco and NGCP however assured their customers that they have already mobilized their personnel for power restoration activities.
Typhoon Santi, which brought incessant rains and strong winds to the country starting late Friday, caused floods and massive power outages in different parts of Metro Manila and southern Luzon. [http://www.gmanews.tv/story/176008/santi-causes-floods-brownouts-in-metro-manila-luzon]
The power outages in Metro Manila also halted the operation of the Light Rail Transit Line 1, which runs through Caloocan City to Baclaran in Pasay City on early Saturday. [http://www.gmanews.tv/story/176006/santi-disrupts-lrt-1-operations]

Transformer blast cuts power in parts of NCR and Rizal
Parts of Metro Manila and Rizal province suffered a power outage late Wednesday evening after an explosion shut down a power transformer of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) in Dolores, Taytay, Rizal province.
Manila Electric Company’s (Meralco) Dina Lomotan told radio dzBB that as a result, power to nine Meralco substations have been cut, affecting the cities of Marikina, Pasig, San Juan, and parts of Quezon City in Metro Manila, including Meralco Center, and the towns of Binangonan, Taytay, Angono, Cainta and Antipolo in Rizal province.
Lomotan did not say how long the outage will last, but assured that they are working double-time to restore power the soonest time. (As of 10:00 pm, power has reportedly been restored in some affected service areas.)
A Taytay police officer interviewed over radio dzBB as of posting said that firefighters are still battling a fire caused by the explosion, which occurred about 8:45 p.m.
Faye de Jesus of the NGCP confirmed that their transformer in Dolores encountered a "technical problem," but declined to confirm if it was caused by an explosion.
De Jesus explained that the NGCP is still assessing the cause of the power outage.
Meralco’s Lomotan expressed fears that if the NGCP fails to solve the problem immediately, Metro Manila would have to endure a series of “rotating brownouts."
“I don't how long they will be able to fix that. The worst-case scenario is (that we might have a rotation of) brownouts. Pero sisikapin namin kung saan tayo pwedeng mag-ipon, pagsisikapan namin (But we will try to supply in places where we can)," Lomotan said.
The power outage comes at a time when Marikina, Pasig and adjacent towns have been suffering power blackouts and spotty restoration in the past two weeks due to persistent floods left by storm “Ondoy." – Aie Balagtas See, GMANews.TV

National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), that operates electricity superhighway in Philippines, plans to invest approximately P30 billion in the power transmission projects in the coming three years, covering three main power grids, reported The INQUIRER Network.
These projects, expected to reach the growing demand, would enhance and develop the power transmission network in Philippines.
Referring the data from NGCP, the source reported that the company intends to spend P10.32 billion in the Mindanao grid, P9.21 billion in Visayas and P9.55 billion in the Luzon grid, from 2009 to 2012.
The company has recognized 11 priority transmission projects during 2009, of which five are in Mindanao, four are in Visayas and two in Luzon. As an official operator of the state-owned National Transmission, NGCP for the next coming 25 years has the right to manage, operate and maintain the power transmission grid.
In Mindanao, various PCB replacement projects will be commenced by NGCP - at Aurora, Bislig, Gen. Santos, Kidapawan, Lugait, Nuling, Sangali and Tacurong.
The company, in Visayas is dealing with various replacement projects for its 138-kiloVolt power circuit breakers (PCBs) at Amlan and Mabinay in Negros Oriental and in Bacolod.
The “Luzon substation expansion projects 1” and the “Mariveles coal associated and complementary transmission line project” are some of the priority projects in Luzon.
