Under the agreement, AKELCO will involve in erection of the single-circuit 69kV overhead interconnection line based on engineering design and transmission line components furnished by PGEC.
Located in Aklan province, the power project is being developed by PGEC, a subsidiary of PetroEnergy Resources, under a Department of Energy’s (DOE) service contract.
PGEC vice president Francisco G Delfin said, "The interconnection distance between the Nabas wind farm in Barangay Pawa and the NGCP-approved connection point near Unidos, Aklan is less than 10km."
Commenting on the project, Aklan Governor Marquez said, "The Nabas project is a testament to the continuing economic growth of Aklan province and Panay island as a whole, which for a long time suffered from underdevelopment."
The company intends to begin initial development works in Nabas next year, with plans to start the commercial operation of the power project by mid-2014.
