00:00 If the weather is ever too hot, the next two days will be the darkest for the country's power reserve.

00:06 Power plants went out yesterday.

00:08 And we have the first news from Mackie Pulido.

00:11 Red alert in Visayas grid from 5 p.m. yesterday until 9 p.m.

00:19 Two plants tripped, so the supply of electricity was reduced

00:23 according to the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines or NGCP.

00:27 Yellow alert from 9 p.m. until 10 p.m.

00:30 Yellow alert in Luzon until 11 p.m.

00:33 The power reserve is still thin, but NGCP said,

00:37 When the power station went out yesterday,

00:51 it was not able to supply more than 750 megawatts.

00:55 It increased to 18 plants in Luzon grid that had a forced outage before,

01:00 so there was a rotational brownout in some parts of the country.

01:03 The supply of plants that went online was slightly reduced,

01:06 with a target of increasing.

01:08 According to Senator Sherwin Gatchalian, vice chairperson of the Senate Committee on Energy,

01:20 the replacement of plants is on the alert and not being accepted.

01:24 They repeatedly told the Department of Energy to implement a contingency plan

01:29 to overcome the power shortage in case a power plant goes wrong.

01:34 The Department of Energy said,

01:36 In the middle is the increase in demand for electricity that seems to be unable to keep up with the supply.

01:50 We have scarcity of power supply.

01:52 We have so much demand and we have so little supply.

01:56 Meralco is buying electricity from the spot market because of the forced outage of plants.

02:01 What they cannot say for now is if this will affect the electric bill of consumers.

02:18 That is why Meralco and government agencies should be careful in using electricity so that demand does not increase.

02:25 In 2023, the power capacity of the country was at 28,291 MW,

02:31 while the peak demand increased to 17,331 MW.

02:35 But in the following years, the demand for electricity is expected to increase even more,

02:40 which is expected to increase to 23,910 MW by the end of 2027, according to the DOE.

02:47 That is why before demand increases, supply should increase.

02:50 70% of our current electricity comes from fossil fuels like coal and liquefied natural gas.

02:56 More than 40% of that is coal, like the coal that is being burned here in Dinginin Power Plant.

03:01 29% comes from renewables like solar, hydro, and wind.

03:05 If we are only talking about base load or electricity that provides 24 hours of supply, this is enough.

03:12 Yes, we were able to measure the capacity that it can provide versus the demand of our consumers.

03:22 But according to the DOE, only 10,000 MW of guaranteed power generation projects will be implemented until 2027.

03:30 There are proposed projects for gas and renewables that are expected to reach the forecasted supply.

03:36 The DOE is looking for more aggressive growth to ensure that we can produce more supply than the demand.

03:47 The problem, according to energy producers, is that you will only get a few permits and clearances.

03:53 The government and local government units need hundreds of signatures.

03:59 That is why it is only in the pre-development stage. It has been three years already.

04:04 Some of the investors, if they see how hard it is,

04:08 in the feasibility or pre-development stage, they will turn off or lose their motivation.

04:13 The DOE's answer is the Energy Virtual One-Stop Shop System or EVOS.

04:18 Online, it will submit the requirements that agencies need to act within a few days.

04:24 A power plant can take up to five years or more.

04:29 From planning, obtaining permits, funding, design, and up to the actual construction.

04:36 That is why a strategic plan is important.

04:38 Because the economy is closely linked to cheap, sufficient and stable electricity.

04:44 This is the first news. Mackie Pulido for GMA Integrated News.
