Energy transmission investments prayoridad ng MIC

MANILA, Philippines- Prayoridad ng Maharlika Investment Corp. (MIC), ahensya na nangangasiwa sa sovereignty wealth fund, ang pamumuhunan sa energy transmission lines sa iba’t ibang rehiyon.

Sinabi ni MIC President and Chief Executive Officer Rafael D. Consing Jr. na maraming investments sa ‘generation at distribution side’ sa sektor ng enerhiya.

“So Maharlika will be focused on lines, just the transmission lines. We do not see ourselves investing in the generation side or the distribution side,” ang sinabi ni Consing.

“Also if you look at where investments in the energy sector is most required, it is in the lines,” aniya pa rin sabay sabing, “So therefore we want to be able to make a difference by focusing only on the grid, on building island grids.”

Wika pa ng opisyal, magiging bahagi ito ng P35 bilyong investments sa energy projects ngayong taon.

Nauna rito, nilagdaan ni Consing kasama ang mga opisyal mula sa National Electrification Administration, at Palawan Electric Cooperative (PALECO), ang isang memorandum of agreement na magpapahusay sa electrical infrastructure ng PALECO.

Layon ng kolaborasyon o pagtutulungan na gawing matatag ang suplay ng kuryente sa Palawan upang mapanatiling makapaghikayat ng mga negosyante at industriya sa lalawigan para sa paglago ng ekonomiya nito.

Nakamandato sa kasunduan na ang mga partido “will mutually provide technical assistance and share relevant data to achieve this goal and direct MIC to conduct studies to assess the present electrical system of Palawan and determine ways to improve it.”

Mayroon namang diskresyon ang MIC na tustusan o gastusan ang pag-upgrade rito, alinsunod sa availability ng pagpopondo at dapat ay “consistent” sa investment strategy at risk management frameworks nito.

Samantala, nakatakda namang palawigin ng PALECO ang lahat ng tulong na may kaugnayan sa implementasyon ng memorandum at makapagbigay ng “technical at operational expertise” kabilang na ang access sa kaugnay na datos at impormasyon, sa mga collaborators o katuwang.

“This project will directly enhance the quality and reliability of electricity services across Palawan, from its bustling urban centers to its remotest corners,” ayon kay Consing.

“With the province aiming to double its tourism visits to 5 million, this investment is not just an option; it is an imperative,” dagdag na wika nito. Kris Jose
