DAVAO CITY, Philippines – The power situation in Mindanao has returned to normal with three units of the Pulangi hydroelectric plant back in the grid, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) said the other day.
NGCP spokesperson Bambi Capulong said the Pulangi hydroelectric plant was recently shut down for its annual preventive maintenance.
Last Monday, Pulangi Unit 1 was synchronized at around 8:30 p.m., followed by Unit 3 at 8:40 p.m., and Unit 2 at 9:15 p.m.
The power reserve in the Mindanao grid is currently at 111 megawatts (MW).
As of Tuesday, the Pulangi plant, which has a rated capacity of 255 MW, had an actual capacity of 180 MW.
On the other hand, the Agus hydro complex, which has a total rated capacity of 727 MW, had an actual capacity of 452 MW.
Capulong said the NGCP does not own, operate or shut down power-generating plants but as the system operator, it has information on the available capacity, system peak and reserves in the power system.
