Transportation officials break ground for MMSP substation in Valenzuela

Transportation officials held a groundbreaking ceremony for Bulk Supply Substation 1 of the Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP) in Valenzuela City.

The substation will serve as the energy supply backbone for the MMSP and is expected to be fully operational by 2030 or 2031, with partial operations starting in 2028; however, delays have pushed back the initial timeline, with partial operations now likely in 2032.

Attending the ceremony were Transportation Secretary Vivencio Dizon, Valenzuela City Mayor Weslie Gatchalian, and officials from Mitsubishi Corp.

The MMSP aims to reduce travel time between Quezon City and NAIA by half, cutting it down to just 35 minutes.

The project includes 17 stations stretching across Metro Manila and is set to significantly improve the region's transportation system.
