NGCP is expected to complete works on the PhP 52 billion Visayas-Mindanao interconnection project by December 2020. The corporation has finalised a route, beginning from Cebu and ending in Dipolog, to connect the Visayas and Mindanao power grids. NGCP is now expected to commence survey works for the overhead transmission line component of the project. This will connect the southern part of Cebu to Naga, which is located in Central Cebu. In addition to the overhead component, the project will also include a submarine cable and overhead lines spanning 92 km and 214 km respectively. NGCP will also prepare a conceptual design and detailed cost estimate, and update a simulation study of the Cebu-Dipolog route.
