MORE Power has announced the full energization of their state-of-the-art 30/36 MVA Mobile Power Transformer stationed at the Molo substation in Iloilo City.

The new equipment utilizes cutting-edge technology and is the first distribution utility in the country to use the PASS M00 technology of ABB (Hitachi Energy).

The project also features a 30 MVA Power Transformer manufactured by ASTOR A.Ş, compact gas-insulated switch gears and relays by Siemens and Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories (SEL), and a state-of-the-art ETOS smart digital tap changer and MSENSE online DGA by Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen.

The energization of this new equipment is a significant milestone for MORE Power and the city’s business community, ushering in a new era of power distribution in Iloilo City.

With the new technology, consumers of MORE Power can expect more efficient and reliable electricity, leading to a more stable power supply and reduced losses from power outages.

Roel Z. Castro, President, and Chief Executive Officer of MORE Power expressed his gratitude for the partnership that made this project possible and reiterated the company’s commitment to delivering top-notch service to their valued consumers.

“Our partnership with EEI and Aktif has allowed us to bring the latest technology and innovations to provide the best quality service that our consumers deserve,” said Castro.

MORE Power will soon transfer the load from the old Molo Power Transformer to the mobile substation.

In the next coming months, the city’s distribution utility will start the total rehabilitation and upgrading of the old Molo substation and the said mobile substation will temporarily serve the needed electricity supply of the consumers in the said district.

“This new equipment is designed to ensure that our customers have access to a reliable and cost-efficient electric power supply, which we hope will contribute to the growth and development of Iloilo City’s booming business community,” Castro further explained.

The city’s business community is set to benefit greatly from this upgrade, with a more stable power supply leading to more efficient business operations.
