Furukawa Electric Philippines Subsea Cable Project Strengthens Power Infrastructure
Furukawa Electric Co., Ltd.ย has secured a contract from theย National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP)ย for a major subsea power transmission project. Theย Furukawa Electric Philippines subsea cable projectย marks another step forward in improving the Philippinesโ energy reliability and transmission capacity across the Visayas region.
The order, worthย โฌ33 million, highlights Furukawaโs leadership in high-voltage cable technology and sustainable infrastructure development.
Delivering the Worldโs Largest-Class Subsea Cable
Furukawa Electric will supplyย 230 kV AC XLPE-insulated, 1600 mmยฒ triple-core submarine cablesโtheย largest conductor size classย of its kind worldwide. The system also includes advancedย temperature and load monitoring technologyย to ensure stable operations.
Through efficient planning, Furukawa expects toย complete manufacturing and delivery by 2023. This timeline reflects the companyโs commitment to precision, high performance, and on-time energy project execution.
Connecting Cebu and Lapulapu for Stronger Grid Support
The new submarine cable will link theย Cebu Substationย to theย Lapulapu Substationย in theย Visayas region. This connection will boost grid capacity and stabilize power transmission betweenย Mandaueย andย Mactan.
Moreover, the system will maintain continuous power delivery even under anย N-1 contingency condition, ensuring reliable electricity flow during equipment outages or maintenance.
Supporting National Energy Modernization
Theย Furukawa Electric Philippines subsea cable projectย plays a key role in modernizing the countryโs power infrastructure. By expanding transmission between major islands, the system will reduce risk of power disruption and ensure efficient energy distribution to growing economic and industrial centers.
In addition, Furukawa continues to invest in high-performance cable systems that support both traditional and renewable energy networks.
