With energy demand expected to continuously grow, it is necessary to reinforce the transmission infrastructure across the Philippines as the electricity network faces expansion. The transmission projects will allow the decongestion of existing transmission facilities and facilitate the connection of new power projects to the grid.
With the enactment of the Philippines Electric Power Industry Reform Act of 2001 (EPIRA) into law in June 2001, the Philippine Electricity Industry was subdivided into four sectors: generation, transmission, distribution, and supply. The transmission and distribution sectors are regulated.
Transmission Lines and Associated Facilities The construction and operation of transmission lines and associated facilities are generally governed by the EPIRA and its implementing rules and regulations, the issuances of the ERC and the Philippine Grid Code. See response in 3.2 Obtaining Approvals to Construct and Operate Generation Facilities.
Current infrastructure As of the beginning of 2023, the Philippines had an installed capacity of 28,258 GW, of which the majority (or 71 per cent) was based on thermal sources such as coal, oil and natural gas. The remaining 29 per cent was based on renewable energy sources (RES) including hydro, geothermal, biomass, solar and wind.
