At 4:03PM of 9 February 2022, NGCP successfully completed and energized the two special towers of the Ubay-C.P. Garcia 138kV Line toppled by Typhoon Odette.
Through its Emergency Restoration Systems (ERS), a temporary by-pass line was constructed to restore the interconnection of Bohol to Leyte, six days ahead of schedule.
Bohol sources about 60% of its energy requirements from suppliers within the Visayas Grid through its interconnection to Leyte.
The permanent restoration of these towers are ongoing using a new tower design with a higher wind-rating to increase its ability to withstand stronger typhoons.
These new and sturdier towers are targeted to be completed by April 2022.
