Residents and businesses in parts of North Caloocan and San Jose del Monte, Bulacan can expect more stable electricity service following a major upgrade by Manila Electric Company (Meralco).
The power distributor, led by Manuel V. Pangilinan, recently enhanced its Camarin Substation to support the growing demand for electricity in the area. The upgrade includes the installation of a new 83-megavolt amperes (MVA) power transformer bank, along with a 34.5-kilovolt (kV) Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS).
Meralco also added four 115 kV power circuit breakers and eight 115 kV disconnect switches to strengthen the substation’s overall capacity and reliability.
The improvements are expected to benefit key areas in North Caloocan and portions of San Jose del Monte, including major establishments such as Maynilad Water Services – La Mesa Water, SM Deparo, SM San Jose Del Monte, Regan Industrial Sales Inc., and Converge J3 Caloocan Data Center.
According to Meralco, the upgrade forms part of its ongoing efforts to improve service reliability and meet increasing power needs in fast-growing communities.
The company reaffirmed its commitment to delivering high-quality electricity service by continuing to invest in modernizing its distribution network.
