FOR the second straight day, the Luzon grid was placed on yellow alert because of thinning of reserves, an energy official said on Tuesday.
The alert was first raised at 10 a.m. and ended at 11 a.m. It was raised again at 1 p.m. until 4 p.m., Energy Assistant Secretary Redentor Delola confirmed in a text message to The Manila Times.
Delola said outages hit the Masinloc 2 (344 megawatts), Pagbilao 1 (382MW), SLTEC 1 (150MW), and Malaya 2 (350MW).
The Calaca 2 (300MW), SLPGC 2 (150MW) and Pagbilao 3 (420MW) are operating below their capacity.
NGCP defines yellow alert as a system condition in which the reserves are less than the capacity of the biggest plant online, which is 647 MW for the country’s largest island.
