要点
- President of the Senate Win Gatchalian called on the NGCP to accelerate the modernization of the electricity grid.
- Due to expensive oil and high generation costs, Meralco made another price hike in electricity.
- The modern grid aims to facilitate the integration of solar panels and electric vehicle charging stations into the system.
President of the Senate of the Philippines Win Gatchalian called on the National Grid Corporation (NGCP) to accelerate the modernization of the power grid. Gatchalian stated that establishing a more flexible and efficient system is essential to be prepared for expectations such as the increase in renewable energy projects and the transition to electric vehicles.
Drawing attention to the fact that Meralco made another price hike in electricity due to high generation costs, Gatchalian emphasized that this situation further increases the urgency of grid improvements. He stated that thanks to a modern grid, inefficiencies in the system could be eliminated and electricity costs could be reduced in the long run.
It was reported that the new generation grid will facilitate the integration of distributed energy resources, such as rooftop solar panels, into the system. Thus, it was announced that it would be possible for consumers to feed the excess electricity they generate back into the grid and to use renewable energy more effectively with large battery storage systems.
