Lawyer Cynthia Alabanza, NGCP spokesperson, however, said that the transmission company can only give advisories on power interruption based on information on available power capacity, peak demands and power reserves being provided them by the generation plants.
Power fed to the Mindanao grid from the various generation plants have been deficient by approximately 100mw and power deficiency may continue for the whole duration of the Holy Week as power plants go on maintenance checks.
The NGCP, in a statement, said that approximately 100 mw of power was taken out of the Mindanao grid due to the unexpected unavailability of Agus 6 (Units 2 and 4), Agus 7 (Units 1 and 2), and Agus 1 (Unit 1). It added that following plants are operational but derated by the owners and operators: Agus 1 (30 mw), Agus 2 (90 mw), Agus 5 (50 mw), Agus 6 (100 mw), Western Mindanao Power Corp.
(90 mw), Southern Power Philippines Corp.
