Brace up for possible power outage should current energy supply situation worsen as 19 power plants are on forced outage, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) warns.
In an advisory issued early Tuesday, the transmission operator said the Luzon grid status forced the agency to put the Luzon grid on 𝐑𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭 from 2:00PM\ to 4:00PM and from 6:00PM to 9:00PM.
A 𝐘𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐭 is also scheduled from 1:00PM to 2:00PM; from 4:00PM to 6:00PM; and from 9:00PM to 11:00PM.
Available Capacity is at 13,537MW while Peak Demand is at 13,024MW. Nineteen (19) power plants are on forced outage, while three (3) others are running on derated capacities, for a total of 2,117.3MW unavailable to the grid.
A red alert status is issued when power supply is insufficient to meet consumer demand and the transmission grid’s regulating requirement. A yellow alert is issued when the operating margin is insufficient to meet the transmission grid’s contingency requirement.| #NGCPAdvisory #NGCP
