Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) has energized a new substation in Sta. Rosa, Laguna, designed to meet the growing power demand of the region’s rapidly expanding commercial, industrial, and residential hubs. The 115 kV-34.5 kV Mesaland substation in Hacienda Sta. Elena will boost power quality and system reliability across Sta. Rosa, Cabuyao in Laguna, as well as in Silang and Tagaytay City in Cavite.
This facility includes an 83-megavolt-ampere transformer and four new distribution feeders, reinforcing Meralco’s commitment to providing stable, reliable electricity. It is expected to benefit key sectors, including residential communities, healthcare institutions like The Medical City South Luzon, and educational facilities such as Adventist University of the Philippines.
Additionally, the substation will support the energy needs of major commercial establishments, including Landers Superstore, Ayala Malls Solenad, and Seda Hotel. The project underscores Meralco’s strategic investment in infrastructure to fuel the region’s continued economic expansion, ensuring the power supply meets the demands of both businesses and consumers.
