The Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) has energized its newly completed Osorio Conchu substation in Trece Martires City, Cavite.
The facility includes a new 83-megavolt-ampere power transformer bank, three 115-kilovolt gas circuit breakers, six 115-kilovolt disconnect switches, new 115-kilovolt sub-transmission lines, and a control house equipped with a 34.5-kilovolt indoor modular switchgear, the company said in a statement issued on June 29.
Meralco did not disclose the project’s cost but said the Osorio Conchu substation provides additional system capacity while improving power reliability in Trece Martires City and General Trias.
Two individuals, including a Chinese national, were arrested after authorities seized about P150 million worth of unregistered and substandard consumer products during an operation in Noveleta, Cavite.
The March 24 operation was launched after authorities received information about the storage and sale of uncertified products at a warehouse inside an industrial complex in Barangay San Rafael IV, according to a Philippine National Police news release issued over the weekend.
