State-run National Power Corporation (NPC) will deploy four new solar photovoltaic (PV) and diesel hybrid systems to meet the electricity needs of its customers in off-grid areas, as served by its Small Power Utilities Group (SPUG) unit.
As noted by NPC President and CEO Pio J. Benavidez, the company will prioritize rollout of hybrid PV-diesel technologies within the 2021-2025 timeframe as cast in its Missionary Electrification Plan (MEP).
Under that energization blueprint, he indicated that the priority will be deployment of RE technologies – primarily solar hybrid for off-grid areas, or those domains that are not connected to main power grids.
