The Sucat–Paco–Araneta–Balintawak Transmission Line (abbreviated as SA[b], 8LI1QUE-DIM[c], 8LI1DIM-MNA[d], 8LI1MNA-MUN[e]), also known as Muntinlupa–Manila–Doña Imelda–Quezon Transmission Line, is a

== Route Description ==
The 34-kilometer (21 mi) Sucat–Paco–Araneta–Balintawak Transmission Line began construction in 1996[1] and went into service in 2000. Originally commissioned by the government-owned National Power Corporation (NAPOCOR), it is now operated and maintained by privately-owned National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP). It passes through the cities of Muntinlupa, Taguig, Makati, Manila, and Quezon City.

The transmission line starts at Sucat Substation where it parallels Manuel L. Quezon Avenue and Laguna Lake Highway before it turns left. It then passes to Diego Silang Village and parallels with Carlos P. Garcia Avenue.

At SLEX, it crosses to Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) through the Magallanes Interchange. It continues on a straight route and after crossing Gil Puyat Avenue are 7 new steel poles that were used for the relocation of the line due to the construction of Skyway Stage 3.
