SPEAKER Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez converses with Energy Secretary Raphael Lotilla and National Grid Corporation President and Chief Executive Officer Anthony Almeda shortly before the Ceremonial Energization of the Commercial Operation of the Mindanao-Visayas Interconnection Project held at Kalayaan Hall in Malacañang Palace Friday afternoon. It is the first time in the history of our nation that the three major power grids of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao are now physically connected. A 184-circuit-kilometer submarine cable now connects the Mindanao and Visayas grids via Dapitan, Zamboanga del Norte and Santander in Cebu. This infrastructure allows power generated in Mindanao to supply homes and establishments in Visayas and now all the way to Luzon, and vice versa.
