Transmission operator National Grid Corp. of the Philippines said Thursday it energized new power transformers in several substations as part of the second stage of its P10-billion North Luzon Substation Upgrading Project.

“The upgrading of these substations is being done to cater the load growth and provide N-1 contingency to substations in NGCP’s North Luzon Region. Without the project, power interruptions may be experienced by customers in the event of failure of existing transformers and power circuit breakers,” said NGCP.

An N-1 contingency is the ability of the grid to withstand a major system disturbance with minimal or no impact to the system and a requirement of the Philippine Grid Code.

NGCP also energized its 100-MegaVolt-Ampere Transformer 1 in Tuguegarao Substation in Cagayan and another 100MVA Transformer 1 in San Esteban Substation in Ilocos Sur in February.

It energized a 100-MV Transformer in Laoag Substation, Ilocos Norte last month.
