Luzon grid has been problematic regarding their power reserve. The power demand in the area exceeds the capacity and reserve.
Thus putting them under the category yellow and red alert status.
This is based on the Facebook post of Philippine News Agency.
The area also lost a total of 2,489 Megawatts of electricity recently. The decrease is due to maintenance, random outages and reduction of power capacity of several power plants.
As of the moment, DOE is working on possible resolutions for the power capacity issue.
Authorities are looking forward to resolving the Luzon power situation.
