THE Iloilo Grain Complex Corp. (IGCC) said that the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) should blame itself for the delay in the construction of its proposed 138-kiloVolt (kV) Panay-Guimaras Interconnection Project.

IGCC spokesman Toby Tañada said that blaming the restraining order (TRO) issued by the Supreme Court for the snag in NGCP's transmission project is a lame excuse for the power grid operator's failure to follow expropriation rules and secure necessary permits from the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC).
