“It is regrettable that the DOE has allowed this situation to continue and merely limited its role to that of a forecaster of power situation instead of a resolute enforcer of the law,” said Ilagan.
Energy Undersecretary Rowena Cristina Guevara said earlier while no red alerts or power interruptions are expected in the Luzon grid this year, yellow alerts may be raised in the country’s largest island 12 times as early as March to as late as November. The DOE’s projections, according to the energy official, already took into consideration the scheduled outage of power plants with a combined capacity of 500 to 600 megawatts.Yet, she said a red alert might be raised in the Luzon grid if at least one power plant went on a forced outage.
The Energy Regulatory Commission previously slapped NGCP with a P5.1-million fine for violating the DOE circular on contracting ancillary services, accompanied by a threat of pushing the revocation of its franchise. NGCP has since then paid the penalty.
