Manuel V. Pangilinan-led Manila Electric Company (Meralco) recently energized the newly converted Malinta Substation in Valenzuela City to enhance electricity service reliability in the area.
The P170.81-million project involved the conversion of the substation’s old 115 kilovolts (kV) conventional single bus switchyard into a modern indoor-type double bus configuration Gas-Insulated Switchgear (GIS), that will help limit incidents of scheduled and long power outages to the benefit of customers in Valenzuela and Malabon. This will also enhance both the reliability and flexibility of the substation and the 115 kV sub-transmission line system.
Meralco actively invests in the improvement of its distribution system to ensure the delivery of safe, stable, and reliable electricity service to its customers as part of its commitment to #KeepingTheLightsOn and #PoweringABrighterTomorrow.
