“Ormeco has contracts for a total of 69 MW, but the actual capacity is 53.5 MW,” Cusi said.

According to the Department of Energy , Cusi went to Calapan to “personally resolve the rotating brownouts plaguing” consumers in his home turf. Back then, Ormeco explained by letter to the DOE that it was not receiving enough supply due to the expiration of contracts with Mindoro Grid Corp. and the retiring generators of Global Business Holdings Inc.

Further, mini-hydropower plants and wind power plants—which have a total contracted capacity of 13.1 MW and 6 MW, respectively—were producing a combined 8.6 MW only.Over the past 15 months, Ormeco took steps to top up supply from alternative sources, including an emergency power procurement of 10 MW.
