Luzon, Visayas grids on yellow alert

Two power plants in Luzon – the Southwest Luzon Power Generation Corp. and the Sta. Rita power plants – are back online.MANILA, Philippines — The Luzon and Visayas grids were placed under yellow alert yesterday, with several power plants still on forced outage or running on derated capacity, according to the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines .

Think tank Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities said the Luzon grid might experience “a tight power supply” from May 13 to 26, leading to yellow alerts.Meanwhile, Metro Manila was spared from a major power outage because of the Interruptible Load Program that the Manila Electric Co. implemented.

“We now need to create an industrial base and we need to provide reliable and affordable power in the countryside so that the industries will not crowd,” Meralco senior vice president Arnel Casanova said. “The development by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council of a national emergency plan for potential nuclear or radiological emergencies, plus the establishment of separate funds for the final disposition of SNF and the eventual decommissioning of would-be nuclear power facilities are on the must-do list of HB 9293 for our safe and secure use of atomic energy,” he said.
