The Visayas Grid will be placed under yellow alert status for the sixth straight day on Saturday, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines said.In an advisory issued at 8 a.m. Saturday, the NGCP said that the yellow alert would be implemented between 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., indicating that the operating margin is not enough to meet the transmission grid's contingency requirement.The grid's available capacity is at 2,681 megawatts, but the peak demand will reach 2,377 megawatts.
One plant has been on forced outage since 2022, two since 2023, two between January and March 2024, and 14 between April and May 2024, while six are running on derated capacities for a total of 578.4 megawatts unavailable to the grid.The Department of Energy earlier said that more yellow and red alerts were expected in the coming weeks as the country has already exceeded its projected demand amid the extreme heat brought by El Niño.
