Dasmariñas–Las Piñas 230kV

The Dasmariñas – Las Piñas Transmission Line finished construction in July 15, 1999 but the power line only went into service when the Las Piñas substation was commissioned on November 30, 2001.^[1]

Throughout its existence, several steel poles were painted with aluminum paint to protect them from corrosion.

The Dasmariñas – Las Piñas Transmission Line passes through the cities of Dasmariñas, Imus, and Bacoor in Cavite, and Las Piñas in Metro Manila. It is located within the service area of NGCP's South Luzon Operations and Maintenance (SLOM) District 1 (South Western Tagalog).^[2]

The transmission line starts at Dasmariñas substation, turns left into Ramona Tirona Avenue, and run parallel with Aguinaldo Highway until Bacoor. Upon approaching Bacoor Junction, it will parallel with Aguinaldo Boulevard until Bacoor Exit of Manila-Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX). It then utilize the eastern side of CAVITEX until its terminus at Las Piñas substation.

The transmission line was originally operated, maintained, and owned by the government-owned National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR/NPC) from November 30, 2001 to March 1, 2003. Operations, maintenance, and ownership of the line then transferred to another government corporation National Transmission Corporation (TransCo) on March 1, 2003 where it operated and maintained the line until January 15, 2009. The line's operations and maintenance was transferred to privately owned National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) on January 15, 2009, where it now operates and maintains the power line since then.
