00:00 Up to one and a half hour in Brown Out, thousands of Meralco customers and other electric cooperatives experienced the same in Luzon and Visayas last night.

00:09 And in June, their additional calvary stopped at the current.

00:13 Maki Polido was there.

00:15 In one part of Imus, Cavite, there was no light in the line of this establishment last night.

00:24 The residents in their house served as light for months and some candles.

00:30 Some residents of Pasig also lit candles while some streets in Antipolo were covered by darkness.

00:39 Only a few of the 487,000 Meralco customers were affected by the rotation of Brown Out because the supply of electricity was already lacking.

00:49 One to one and a half hour of Brown Out lasted in some places in Pampanga, Bulacan, Laguna, Cavite, Metro Manila and Rizal.

00:57 That's why the uninterruptible load program or the electricity that big business establishments will not use was not expected.

01:05 The commercial establishments, most of them are already closed.

01:09 So you really can't get anything in terms of DILP.

01:12 So if that's the situation and you're still closing, then you have to shave demand.

01:18 Some businessmen in Quezon City continued to lose their additional income because they were forced to close early until 8 p.m.

01:26 I was forced to close because it's a waste. I can still buy five more.

01:30 Many of the customers of electric cooperatives in Luzon and Visayas lost electricity yesterday.

01:37 The Department of Energy said that there was a forced outage or a plant was suddenly damaged while some plants, particularly hydropower plants, were not supplied enough.

01:47 This is in line with the increase in demand because the weather is still hot.

01:51 The Energy Regulatory Commission has not yet released the results of its investigation into the sudden damage of plants due to the increase in demand for electricity in April.

02:00 The DOE will now conduct a site inspection on plants that are always damaged or are still damaged.

02:07 We are still looking for the possible causes of their outages.

02:13 The lack of supply and reserve of electricity in the coming days is still possible, said the DOE.

02:18 For the customers of Miralco and electric cooperatives, this is just one of the reasons why the surge in demand for electricity in June is still possible.

02:28 Since Miralco, among the many distribution utilities and electric cooperatives operating in the grid, procure part of their supply in the spot market,

02:39 there is really the possibility of buying power at a more expensive rate and which will eventually impact on the overall generation charge.

02:49 For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for Tutok Tlaloc, 24 hours.

02:54 .
