POWER-GRID operator and transmission-service provider National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) has partnered with the Department of Energy (DOE) to widen public understanding of the process behind the delivery of good-quality electricity to homes and industries.
In an activity facilitated by NGCP, the group, composed of Northern Samar municipal information officers and Philippine Information Agency officials, visited NGCP’s Visayas System Operations office, where they witnessed grid shift dispatchers monitoring the real-time status of the entire Visayas power grid shown from giant screens, and ensuring that the supply and demand for electricity remains balanced in accordance with the Philippine Grid Code.
NGCP reiterated its strict adherence to the standards set by existing rules and regulations, emphasizing that, while it is a privately owned corporation, it is highly regulated and its operations must stand the scrutiny of the Energy Regulatory Commission.
