00:00 Meanwhile, it's possible for the grid to go brown out in some areas of Luzon because it's red alert until 10pm.

00:06 The red alert in Visayas grid is even smaller.

00:09 Maki Polido is on the alert!

00:11 The continued brownout is adding to Josie's stress.

00:18 In the heat, she's afraid that her high blood pressure will go down even without taking any maintenance medicine.

00:25 Those who have money are lucky because they can feel the heat.

00:32 It's not like us who feel like a poor person.

00:38 The Energy Regulatory Commission is looking for a battalion to formally investigate

00:43 the 32 power plants that are forced outage in Luzon and Visayas.

00:48 They will find out if there is a violation and if there should be a punishment.

00:52 There is a recurring red alert until 10pm in Luzon grid and until 7pm in Visayas grid.

00:59 This means that the supply of electricity is not enough to meet the demand.

01:03 That's why the NGCP is worried that it's possible for the grid to go brownout in some areas of Nueva Vizcaya, Cagayan, Sorsogon and Zambales.

01:10 There was also a red alert in Luzon earlier this afternoon, but the grid didn't have to go brownout in Metro Manila

01:16 because of the interruptible load program of Meralco, where the generator is used by big customers like malls and houses.

01:24 The group of independent power producers said that there is no plant that doesn't want to supply electricity.

01:31 It's in our advantage to maintain our plants.

01:35 If we don't maintain it, we won't earn.

01:39 The heat is also affecting the running of coal-powered plants.

01:43 While hydro-powered plants cannot run if the water level is low because of the heat.

01:48 The recurring red alert of Luzon grid is due to the shutdown of a hydro-powered plant

01:53 that is not following the allocation of water by the National Irrigation Authority.

01:58 In Luzon, 14 out of the 11 forced outages are hydro plants, and three are coal.

02:04 The climate right now, it also contributes to a lot of factors.

02:07 According to Pagbilao Power Plant, on Saturday, April 20, their 750 megawatts power station will be online.

02:14 If we can immediately return the power plants' service that is outaged,

02:22 then our problem will be solved or we will still meet the demand.

02:27 For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for Tutok, 24 hours.
