MANILA, Philippines — The Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) has extended the completion targets for two transmission projects worth P8.24 billion following delays due to issues with land takeover and bureaucratic red tape.
In separate decisions dated Aug. 24, the commission granted the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines’ wish to extend the timeline of the P6.34-billion Porac 230-kilovolt substation project and the P1.9-billion Amlan-Dumaguete 138-kilovolt transmission line project.
