According to reports, the Department of Energy (DOE) is closely monitoring and coordinating with the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) and all generation companies on the current power supply condition following the Red and Yellow Alerts declared in the Luzon grid and Yellow Alert in the Visayas.
• In Luzon, the DOE instructed distribution utilities, including the Manila Electric Company (Meralco) and electric cooperatives, to activate their Interruptible Load Program to help reduce the overall demand in the grid.
• The DOE reiterated the directive of the president for all government offices to take the lead in conserving energy and minimizing power use particularly during this period. Industrial and commercial establishments are also encouraged to minimize using power during peak hours via flexible work arrangements and other conservation measures.
