President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. will lead the ceremonial energization of the Cebu-Negros-Panay Backbone Project Stage 3 (CNP3) in Bacolod City, which is expected to improve the power supply situation in Western Visayas, on Monday, April 8.
Energy Undersecretary Rowena Cristina Guevara , who joined the Philippine Electric Power Industry Forum 2024 at the Iloilo Convention Center on Friday, confirmed the visit of the president.
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) completed the 230-kilovolt CNP3 on March 27 that is now running at full capacity, she said.
