Transmission firm National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has been engaging industry stakeholders for inputs into the 20-year transmission development plan (TDP) that it is currently crafting to guarantee reliable electricity services, including the need to spare consumers from suffering unwarranted blackouts.
The company has shifted its ongoing public consultation process for the TDP through a virtual platform given the continued quarantine protocols being enforced in all parts of the country.
NGCP said it has been seeking inputs from all relevant industry players and stakeholders in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao grids for the 2021-2040 TDP; and it carried out virtual public consultations within January to February this year.

That was based on the approval given by the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) on the FIT-All rate petition of RE fund administrator National Transmission Corporation (TransCo) to account for adjustments in calendar year 2020. The FIT-All increase will be reflected in the bills by January.
