Meralco upgrades Caloocan substation

Meralco’s recent upgrade of the Caloocan substation, a project valued at P208.45 million, underscores the critical role of infrastructure modernization in ensuring electricity reliability, as the installation of advanced components like the 83-MVA power transformer bank and 34.5-kV gas-insulated switchgear exemplifies how strategic investments can transform urban power distribution systems, offering a cautionary tale against jejune approaches to grid management that prioritize short-term cost savings over long-term resilience.
