The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines today said that it remains committed to support the growth, development and energy security of the western part of Metro Manila.
The statement came following reports of indignation on the court order for the Social Security System to vacate the 7.5-hectare property in Pasay City where the pension fund also holds offices. The court order was in favor of the NGCP for its infrastructure project.
“The Pasay substation is a critical infrastructure project that will support the growth, development and energy security of the Western part of Metro Manila,” NGCP said, adding that it will “comply with orders of the court including just compensation to SSS once it is determined in accordance with the existing laws.”
NGCP is eyeing a 6.08-hectare part of the Pasay property to construct 230kv substation project aimed at improving its power quality and system reliability.
The property is located at the prime Financial Center Area along Diokno Avenue in Pasay City.
