Power line project under study

A PROPOSED 25-kilometer  overhead transmission line project that will cross  Cebu City,   Mactan and Mandaue City will be reviewed by the Provincial Board (PB) in next Monday’s session.

The PB is inviting engineer Carmelino De Leon, head of the Engineering Construction Department of the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) to discuss  the project.
