Meralco provides Bulacan new power transformer
Meralco has upgraded its Duhat Substation in Bocaue, Bulacan, replacing an aging transformer with a new, more powerful unit to enhance power quality and reliability in the region.
The replacement involved a 300-megavolt ampere (MVA), 220-kilovolt (kV) transformer, replacing a 42-year-old unit, and is equipped with an on-load tap changer.
This upgrade aims to ensure reliable electricity services for residents and businesses in Sta. Maria, Bocaue, Balagtas, Meycauayan, Obando, and Marilao.
The new transformer will also accommodate the increased power needs of major establishments such as the Philippine Arena, Hightension Steel, Joni Villanueva General Hospital, Valenzuela City Emergency Hospital, and SM City Marilao.
These facility enhancements are part of Meralco's broader strategy to manage escalating electricity demand while upholding service safety and stability.
In the first quarter, Meralco allocated P683.74 million towards substation upgrades and development to meet growing power demands within its service territories.
Beacon Electric Asset Holdings, Inc., Meralco's controlling stakeholder, has partial ownership by PLDT Inc.
