Manila Electric Co. recently commissioned its new La Mesa 115 kilovolt switching station at the Light Industrial Science Park 2 in Calamba City, Laguna.

The project, which aims to improve the system reliability and power quality in the area, involved the commissioning of a gas circuit breaker, three sets of disconnect switches and standard connection and metering facilities for the Philippine office of STMicroelectronics Inc.—the largest European semiconductor contract manufacturing and design company. 

The new switching station will facilitate the upgrading of STMI’s electric service to 115 kV from 34.5 kV and accommodate the projected increase in its demand to 13.5 megawatts this year and 20 MW by 2027. 

The five-month construction of the switching station was made possible by the collaboration of the One Meralco Group through MServ, one of the largest electrical, mechanical, fire protection and plumbing contractors and energy service companies in the Philippines, and MIESCOR, one of the country’s leading service providers of engineering, construction and maintenance service.

Meralco said it works hand-in-hand with its enterprise customers and offers them the best tailor-fit solutions to ensure reliable power for their business needs.
