Route description
The Dasmariñas–Las Piñas Transmission Line went into service on November 30, 2001.[1] Originally commissioned by the government-owned National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR), it is now operated and maintained by privately owned National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP). It passes through the cities of Dasmariñas, Imus, and Bacoor in Cavite, and Las Piñas in Metro Manila.
The transmission line starts at Dasmariñas substation, turns left into Ramon Tirona Avenue, and run parallel with Aguinaldo Highway until Bacoor. Upon approaching Bacoor Junction, it will parallel with Aguinaldo Boulevard until Bacoor Exit of Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX). It then utilize the eastern side of CAVITEX until its terminus at Las Piñas substation.
Statistics
The transmission line consists of 209 steel poles (1–209) and 1 lattice tower (208A).
Expansion and improvements
In order to protect the steel poles from corrosion, several poles are being painted with aluminum paint.
In 2016, NGCP constructed lattice tower 208A that connects to 3rd 300 MVA transformer at Las Piñas Substation on a location where a water tower was once located.
