The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) holds the franchise to operate and maintain the Philippines’ electricity transmission network. It delivers safe and reliable electricity throughout the archipelago.

As the system operator of the power grid, NGCP balances the demand and supply of electricity to efficiently serve all of its customers which are generators, private distribution utilities, electric cooperatives, government-owned utilities, ecozones, industries, and directly connected companies.

As the only transmission utility firm in the country, NGCP performs a significant role in nation building by providing the necessary infrastructure to deliver electricity where it is needed --whether in far flung communities or in urban centers.

History

Incorporated in 2008, the private corporation won the bidding for the franchise to operate and maintain the country's transmission network. It was the biggest government auction conducted in efforts to reform the local power sector.

The 50-year franchise provides NGCP with the right to operate, maintain, expand and further develop the country's power transmission system which involves 19, 425 circuit kilometers of transmission lines and 23, 853 megavolt amperes (MVA) of substation capacity.
