The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) vowed to hasten its transition to renewable and sustainable energy sources.
Recognizing the importance of increasing the presence of renewable energy in the country’s energy mix, the NGCP stated it will draw on its strategic partnership with the State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) for its sustainability strategy.
The state power transmission company said it will leverage SGCC’s expertise in renewable energy integration.
The collaboration with SGCC will allow NGCP to accommodate the increasing adoption of renewable energy technologies into the national grid, the company said.
The NGCP said it will also prioritize improving the disaster resilience of the grid infrastructure. The NGCP further said it will intensify ongoing upgrades of equipment and manpower, especially those that will prevent disruptions, or provide expedient repair, in case of natural disasters.
Currently, the NGCP has been developing local talent by investing in world-class training and scholarships for aspiring Filipino engineers, the company also said.
