New substation

Manila Electric Co. commissions the new North Caloocan 115 kilovolt-34.5 kV Gas-Insulated Switchgear Substation along Quirino Highway, Novaliches, Quezon City which unloads the forecasted critical load of Novaliches and Camarin power transformer banks. The project involved the commissioning of a new 83-megavolt ampere power transformer, one 115-kV GIS, one 34-kV GIS, four new distribution feeders and other substation equipment. The new substation will serve the growing demand in the areas of Quezon City, Caloocan City North and portions of San Jose del Monte in Bulacan, including the expected power requirement of the MRT-7 once operational.
