NGCP holds stakeholder consultation to tackle TDP 2025-2050
As part of its holistic approach to supporting a reliable energy industry, NGCP conducted its annual stakeholder consultation to discuss the Transmission Development Plan (TDP) for 2025-2050, a vital initiative focused to map out future grid development and expansion plans in the Philippines.
Held every March across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao, the TDP stakeholder consultation provides NGCP the opportunity to meet with energy stakeholders and present its grid development plan. This initiative is meant to align with the government’s goals for the energy sector and other power industry players’ committed projects.
NGCP also held focused consultations with key agencies such as the Department of Energy (DOE), the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), the National Transmission Corporation (TransCo), the Philippine Electricity Market Corporation (PEMC), and the Independent Electricity Market Operator of the Philippines (IEMOP).
“The TDP is essential to NGCP. It outlines, in broad strokes, our vision for the future of the Philippine energy landscape, focusing on ongoing projects and grid plans. This includes indicative project timelines, regulatory updates, the proposed integration of renewable energy sources, and smart grid technologies to enhance efficiency and sustainability,” said NGCP President and CEO Anthony Almeda.
Almeda emphasized that stakeholder collaboration is crucial for the success of this plan, stating that NGCP values insights and feedback from stakeholders, which are crucial for fine-tuning its plans and programs.
The TDP is designed to address the increasing energy demands of the nation while promoting a sustainable future through the incorporation of renewable energy sources and advanced technologies.
It also serves as a platform for stakeholders to actively participate in discussions regarding the ongoing and future projects outlined in the TDP.
NGCP is committed to fostering an inclusive dialogue with stakeholders to create a roadmap for a resilient and efficient transmission system that aligns with the country’s energy goals, Almeda assured.
