00:00 It is possible that the widespread brownout on the island of Panay will last until tomorrow.

00:06 As of now, only 30% of the electricity on the island will be restored.

00:11 Sandra Aguinaldo has the report.

00:14 Life is at risk for the daily lack of electricity in many places in Iloilo.

00:22 The problem of Ramon Duremde's District Hospital is the increase of asthma patients.

00:27 The nebulizer cannot be used by those who have asthma at home because it is still brownout.

00:32 They are just using extension cords.

00:35 It is better if we bring them a nebulizer.

00:39 A hospital in the town of Pavia is worried about the damage to the hospital equipment

00:44 and the increasing cost of the generator.

00:47 We have patients who should be secured.

00:51 The cost of the generator is almost P40,000 per month.

00:57 We will pay P40,000 in two days.

01:02 These senior citizens have left their homes because it is hot inside.

01:07 In San Jose, Antique, residents who are also hot at home slept on a seawall.

01:14 The PANAY Energy Development Corporation or PEDC explained that their Unit 1 tripped

01:20 on Tuesday afternoon because of the vibration protection of their boiler feed water pump.

01:28 Two hours later, the PEDC Unit 2 went wrong because of the sudden drop in voltage in the grid.

01:36 At the same time, the plant of Palm Conception Power Corporation also tripped.

01:41 Because of this, the PANAY Island was isolated.

01:47 Our submarine cable that connects Negros and PANAY was also given up.

01:56 And because our big plant in PANAY was gone, there were outages.

02:01 The Department of Energy or DOE wants to know why the three biggest plants that supply electricity in PANAY Island went wrong.

02:10 They also want to know if the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines or NGCP is a system operator.

02:18 Because of NGCP, power generation became a problem and the transmission that they are making is not good.

02:26 Even though NGCP said that there is no electricity that they need for transmission.

02:31 PANAY Island has zero generation.

02:34 So in that situation, you had no power to transmit.

02:39 The DOE said that they are investigating the power outage in Congress.

02:42 NGCP is ready to face it.

02:44 As of now, DOE said that only 30 percent of the electricity that PANAY Island needs will be returned.

02:51 In Iloilo City, only 50 percent.

02:54 We are waiting to get back to the operation of Palm Conception Power Corporation power facility.

03:00 We expect that by early tomorrow morning, our electricity supply in PANAY Island will be complete.

03:06 Sandra Aguinaldo reporting for GMA Integrated News.
