Good News Kababayans! Additional supply from 3 major power plants will help deter another round of rotational blackouts in Luzon next week, a transmission company official told the abscbnNEWS.com
Power plants that are expected to provide electricity next week are the 1,200-MW Ilijan plant in Batangas which is being run by the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO), the 250-MW Sta Rita plant owned by the First Gen Corporation under the Lopez Group of Companies, and the 370-MW Masinloc coal plant in Zambales owned by Masinloc Power Partners Co., Ltd.
According to Jess Sulit of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, 3 plants with a generating capacity of around 1,820-MW will be onstream by next week.
“With the addition of these plants, the reserves will be enough to stabilize the grid,” Sulit said, explaining that Luzon needs at least 600-MW as reserves to assure enough supply of power.
With the addition of these plants, the level of reserves will be go beyond the 20% required reserve margin.
“Unless these plants deliver their allocations next week, we would not experience blackouts because supply is sufficient,” Sulit concluded.
