THE PHILIPPINES’ main gridson Wednesday experienced a shortfall of energy supply for the seventh time this month, with a yellow alert being raised over the Mindanao power grid for the first time in 2024.
In a statement, the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) placed Mindanao under yellow alert status from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. after nine plants in the region went offline, while five have been running on derated capacities. This resulted in the unavailability of 673.98 megawatts (MW) to the grid.
