Residents of Panay Island can expect improved power stability in the coming weeks, as the Department of Energy (DOE) anticipates the completion of the Cebu-Negros-Panay (CNP) transmission line upgrade by the end of March.
This project aims to strengthen the Panay grid, which faced recent challenges due to the unplanned shutdown of three units of Panay Energy Development Corporation's coal-fired power plant and the ongoing maintenance of the Palm Concepcion Power Corporation (PCPC) facility.
The DOE, in a statement released on March 3rd, acknowledges the inconvenience caused by the power interruptions and emphasizes its commitment to addressing the situation. They highlight the CNP upgrade, alongside the completion of PCPC's maintenance by the end of the month, as key factors in enhancing grid stability.
The completed CNP upgrade will provide Panay with access to additional power from the Negros grid, improving overall resilience and reducing the risk of outages. While the DOE encourages continued cooperation among generators, distribution utilities, and the system operator, they express confidence that the upcoming improvements will significantly contribute to a more stable power supply for Panay Island.
