The Luzon grid is back to normal on
Wednesday morning, after it was placed on red alert on Tuesday evening, after
three power plants went on outage on Tuesday evening.
”We are on white alert. The power
plants are back on line,” Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) Spokesman Joe
Zaldariagga said in a text message on Wednesday.
White alert means the situation is
back to normal.
The Luzon grid was placed on red
alert on Tuesday evening, after the San Gabriel, San Lorenzo and Santa Rita
power plants went on forced outage.
Red alert means zero operating
reserves, or there is insufficient power supply.
The power plants have a total
installed capacity of 1,914 megawatt.
The distribution utility, meanwhile,
scheduled power interruptions in Metro Manila on Wednesday to pave the way for
repair works on its facilities. The areas include Makati City, Muntinlupa City,
Pasig City and Quezon City.
Meralco is the country’s largest
distribution utility, with more than 5.8 million customers in Luzon.
