          Noong panahon ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, layunin ng pamahalaan na itaguyod ang kapakanang pang-ekonomiya ng bansa sa pamamagitan ng pagkakaroon ng kuryente sa buong kapuluan, kaya inilabas ng pangulo ang Presidential Decree No. 40 na nagbibigay tungkulin sa National Power Corporation na magtayo ng mga island grids na mag-uugnay sa mga generating facilities at cooperatives para sa power distribution.
