San Fernando City, La
Union — The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has reported
that the power generation deficiency has caused the unscheduled power outages
in the past two days in some areas in Regions 1 and Cordillera Administrative
Region (CAR).
On June 6, 2017, the
manual load dropping affected some areas in the provinces of Ilocos Norte and
Ilocos Sur started at 7:12 p.m., but the power was restored at 10:36
p.m.
On June 7, 2017, the
manual load dropping affected again some areas in Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La
Union, Pangasinan, and Abra at 7 p.m.
“Actually, the
restorations of power were not followed as scheduled as the electricity was restored
at 9 p.m. or before 10 p.m.,” the NGCP said.
It said the three
causes of the unscheduled power outage were generation deficiency of wind
farms; power overloading as the peak demand for electricity is between 7
p.m. and 10 p.m.; and the 15-day scheduled shutdown of the tower of the 230
Kilovolts (KV) lines 1 and 2 traversing San Esteban, Ilocos Sur to Laoag City.
