MANILA, Phiippines – The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has approved new rules that will allow entities other than the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) to finance and build certain transmission projects, in a move aimed at accelerating the delivery of new power supply to the grid.
In a statement on Friday, the ERC said it had adopted Resolution No. 18, Series of 2026, which establishes the implementing rules for the development, ownership and operation of Point-to-Point Limited Transmission Facilities and for the financing and construction of transmission projects by entities other than the transmission network provider, presently the NGCP.
