Manila Electric Company (Meralco) commissioned the Milagrosa 115 kilovolt (kV) Switching Station in Carmelray Industrial Park II in Calamba City, Laguna to support the power requirements of Solar Tanauan Corp.
The P35-million project involved the construction of the 115 kV Switching Station with an initial three sets of 115 kV power circuit breakers, and various equipment for Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), protection and control and telecommunications among others.
The project—which will improve the delivery of power output of Solar Tanauan’s 50 megawatt alternating current (MWac) power plant to the 115 kV system of Meralco—will provide additional green capacity to enhance the power service reliability in Calamba, Canlubang and Cabuyao in Laguna.
Meralco said it continues to invest in the improvement of its distribution system to ensure the delivery of safe, stable and reliable electricity service to its customers.
