CORPORATE PROFILE

The National Transmission Corporation (TransCo) is a government agency created under Republic Act No. 9136, otherwise known as the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) of 2001

Since March 1, 2003, TransCo operated and managed the power transmission system that links power plants to the electric distribution utilities nationwide. The same law mandated the privatization of TransCo through an outright sale or management concession agreement.

Following a public bidding conducted in December 2007, the TransCo concession was awarded to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), which eventually secured a congressional franchise to operate the transmission network through Republic Act No. 9511.

On January 15, 2009, TransCo turned over the management and operation of its nationwide transmission system to NGCP. Ownership of all transmission assets however, remains with TransCo.

As owner of the transmission assets, the new TransCo is mandated with five key responsibilities:

Protect national government's interests by ensuring NGCP's compliance with the terms and conditions of the Concession Agreement and the policies of the Department of Energy;
Handle all existing cases, including right-of-way and claims which accrued prior to the turnover date;
Divest remaining sub-transmission assets to technically and financially qualified electric distributors nationwide; and
Undertake the operation, maintenance, consultancy and other technical services for the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA).
Administer the Feed-in-Tariff Allowance Fund for renewable energy generators.
