THE entire Luzon grid will be placed on yellow alert for two hours this afternoon, the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) announced on Monday.
In its advisory, the NGCP said the alert would be up on the country’s largest island from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Available capacity is at 11,267 megawatts (MW) while peak demand is at 10,438 MW.
“Details on the cause to be announced by the Department of Energy (DOE) later in the day,” the country’s grid operator said.
The 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 Luzon. JORDEENE B. LAGARE
