National Grid Corp. of the Philippines said Monday it has activated the special operations of its overall command center as part of its preparations to secure power transmission operations and facilities during this year’s State of the Nation Address (SONA).
NGCP said in a statement its contingency plans are in place to monitor and immediately address any grid disturbance. Its critical units, particularly System Operations (SO) and Operations and Maintenance (O&M), will be fully staffed and operational.
Line crews, engineers, maintenance, testing and other technical personnel are also strategically positioned in NGCP substations to respond to line trippings, if any, it said..
The command center will be operating from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday. Substation and transmission line status updates will be released to the public every four hours, NGCP said.
“Our Integrated Disaster Action Plan (IDAP) prescribes relevant measures to ensure the readiness of all power transmission facilities to be affected by emergencies during important national events. NGCP assures the public of reliable power transmission services during this significant event,” said NGCP.
