The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has just now declared a red alert status on the Luzon Grid due to the deficiency in power generation, according to the Department of Energy (DOE). The Philippine Star reports that the NGCP will be placing the grid under red alert between 3PM to 4PM and 7PM to 10PM, while being under yellow alert from 5PM to 6PM and 11PM. The power supply system is categorized as follows: • White alert - Sufficient power reserves • Yellow alert - Low power reserves • Red alert - Insufficient power supply The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) recently placed the Luzon Grid on red alert and yellow alert. Parts of Luzon were affected by rotating power interruptions as high temperatures drove electricity demand too close to the available supply. Thus, they advise their customers regarding brownouts as soon as they receive information on the power supply situation from the NGCP, which holds the information of the volume that power plants in Luzon Grid are able to supply. Furthermore, the company revealed that there are Power Supply Agreements (PSAs) pending with the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), which are once approved, will intend more power plants being built and extra capacity to the grid.
