Technical Configuration.
The connection assets
'involve 138 kV double circuit 1-795 MCM ACSR
transmission line, which will start from the plant site
located
inside
the
Kamanga
Agro-Industrial
Economic Zone, and which will connect to the
Mindanao grid through the NGPC's General Santos

Further, the 138 kV line will utilize the route and the
right-of-way of the existing 69 kV line of South
Cotabato II Electric Cooperative, Inc. (SOCOTECO
II). Consequently, the proposed connection not only
optimizes the existing right-of-way, but is also costefficient since it dispenses with additional cost of
acquiring new right-of-way.
A more detailed
explanation on the selection of the said route is
attached to the application as Annex "0";

ALLEGATIONS IN SUPPORT OF
THE MOTION FOR PROVISIONAL AUTHORITY
29. As discussed earlier, the construction of the SEC Phase II
Plant is expected to commence in early 2015.
It will
provide the much-needed power supply of electricity
consumers in Mindanao, particularly the consumers of
COTELCO, DASURECO, SOCOTECO I, ILPI, ZANECO,
ZAMSURECO I and CEPALCO;
30. The provisional approval of the application will allow it to
implement the timely construction and installation of the
connection assets, which will, in turn, enable it to supply
the power requirements of the electricity consumers in
Mindanao in a timely manner.
Clearly, the proposed
connection of the said Plant to the Mindanao grid, through
the connection assets to be owned, operated and
maintained by it, is indispensable to providing such power
supply;
31. Moreover, the provisional approval of the application is
necessary for it to continue securing the financing needed
for its Phase II Plant and its associated interconnection
system. Needless to state, the sooner its Phase II Plant is
completed, the sooner it can supply power to the abovecited distribution utilities:
