‰ The Philippine Grid Code provides, among others,-
• “..Grid Owner shall establish the procedure for the
processing of applications for connection ….”
• “..Grid Owner may disapprove an application for
connection…. if such will result in the Degradation
of the Grid”.

‰ The Open Access Transmission Service (OATS) Rules

mandates “..Transmission Provider and Prospective
Transmission Customer to comply with the processes
set out … for processing of new or modified
connection arrangement”
