In its continuing pursuit to ensure delivery of safe, stable and reliable power to its customers, Manuel V. Pangilinan-led Manila Electric Company (Meralco) upgrades the power transformer bank at its Duhat Substation located in Bocaue, Bulacan.

Meralco replaced the 42-year-old power transformer with a new 300 megavolt amperes (MVA), 220 kilovolt (kV)-115 kV power transformer with an on-load tap changer. This ensures reliable electricity service and improved power quality in the areas of Sta. Maria, Bocaue, Balagtas, Meycauayan, Obando and Marilao in Bulacan.

The project will support the power needs of big load customers including Philippine Arena, Hightension Steel, Joni Villanueva General Hospital, Valenzuela City Emergency Hospital, SM City Marilao and several municipal and city halls.

Meralco continuously upgrades its facilities to serve the growing power needs of its customers as part of its commitment to maintain a safe, stable and dependable service.
