00:00 The National Grid Corporation or NGCP is responsible for the widespread brownout in Panay Island, according to President Bongbong Marcos.
00:13 The President said that there is a chance that the NGCP could have stopped the downfall of the entire electricity grid in Panay if it was cleaned immediately and ordered manual load dropping.
00:26 But the NGCP did not do this. The President also mentioned the NGCP's unfinished project to clean the electricity grid of Cebu, Panay, and Negros that has been delayed for several years.
00:40 This is one way to avoid this situation.
00:45 In this incident, the President ordered the Energy Regulatory Commission or ERC to reset the rates of the NGCP, to increase the NGCP's involvement in its obligations, and to impose any measures that would hamper the implementation of regulatory measures.
01:09 Accountability lies with the NGCP. They are tasked with grid stability. Stability involves proactive responses to breakdowns and unexpected events, a duty that NGCP unfortunately has not fulfilled adequately.
01:27 NGCP's failure to act during the crucial two-hour window is a missed opportunity. As a systems operator, NGCP must proactively engage with distribution utilities and cooperatives to manage loads and prevent such system collapses.
