MANILA -- The Luzon and Visayas grids will be on yellow alert on April 25. 

A yellow alert is issued when the operating margin is insufficient to meet the transmission grid’s contingency requirement.

In a statement, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) said the Luzon grid would be on yellow alert from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

The NGCP said 4 plants have been on forced outage since 2023, while 3 were out between January and March 2024.

Twelve have been down since April 2024, while another is running on derated capacity, which means 1,424.3 megawatts of power are unavailable to Filipinos.

Meanwhile, the Visayas grid will be on yellow alert from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., and from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.

In Visayas, one plant has been on forced outage since 2022, while another 2 have been down since 2023.

Another 2 went down between January and March 2024, and 19 more were out since April 2024. An additional 12 others are running on derated capacities, making 670.8 megawatts unavailable to the public.
