I. Grid Condition Issuances
The NGCP lifted the Red Alert status as of 3:10PM but the Luzon Grid shall remain on Yellow Alert until 8:00PM.
II. Forced Outages and Derated Plants
In addition to the plants on forced outage, several plants are also running at derated capacities.
Please refer to the table for the updated list of power plants that are derated and on forced outage.
III. ILP and Energy Efficiency
To avert the possibility of a power interruption during the Red Alert status from 1:01PM to 4:00 PM, the energy family will implement the Interruptible Load Program (ILP).
Consumers may participate in averting any power interruption by the using their electricity wisely and efficiently. “Energy efficiency” means the use of energy without waste, or “walang sayang”.
* Any additional forced outage or de-ration of plants will worsen the situation, while more participation in the ILP or efficiency in the use of electricity by the consumers will help the situation.
The DOE will continue to update the public on further developments.
