Visayas power grid under 'Yellow Alert'

THE National Grid Corporation of the Philippines has issued a yellow alert for the Visayas region from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday, May 14, 2024, warning of a thin power supply cushion due to multiple forced outages affecting several power plants in the area.The alert, effective from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and again from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., indicated that the operating margin is insufficient to meet the transmission grid's contingency requirements.

This narrow reserve has prompted the grid operator to raise the yellow alert as a precautionary measure to ensure the stability of the Visayas grid and prevent potential power interruptions or rotational brownouts.The NGCP has reported that one plant has been on forced outage since 2022, two since 2023, and two more between January and March of this year.
