MANILA (UPDATE) -- The yellow alert over the Luzon power grid has been lifted, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines said in an advisory released 1 p.m. Thursday.
The NGCP said the early lifting of the yellow alert, which was supposed to last from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. today, was due to the decrease in forecasted demand and the delay in the shutdown of another power plant.

A yellow alert is issued when the operating margin is insufficient to meet the transmission grid’s contingency requirement.
On Wednesday, the NGCP also issued a yellow alert after the San Gabriel plant in Batangas tripped, which caused power reserves to fall.

The Philippines endured several weeks of power shortages several months ago as unusually hot weather led to higher power consumption, at the same time that several power plants were not operating.
