00:00 Brownouts are possible. Electric bill payers could also grow.
00:05 That's what the consumer is hoping for with the low supply of electricity.
00:10 Maki Polito is on the spot.
00:12 On the fourth day, until last night, the Luzon and Visayas grid was on a red and yellow alert.
00:21 More than 30 plants were forced outage or suddenly damaged, so the supply of electricity was low.
00:27 Brownouts are possible if there's a red alert, but aside from that,
00:31 consumers could also increase the electric bill, even if it's not that high.
00:36 To increase the supply, electricity is also being bought from Malaya Oil Fired Power Plant,
00:42 which is more expensive because it's run by Crudo.
00:44 The cost of Crudo used by the generators of their big customers
00:52 under the Interruptible Load Program will also be added to the generation charge that Meralco is single-handedly using.
00:54 The generators are being used so that they won't be able to steal from the running out of electricity.
01:00 The Energy Department has a policy to reduce the bill for electricity,
01:04 so that it won't be able to increase the high demand.
01:06 We reduce our power consumption during the peak hours.
01:14 Whenever the demand increases and we have to run the more expensive oil-based power plants,
01:27 then that would be reflected in our bills at the end of the period.
01:35 Electric bill could also increase if the price of electricity in the spot market is high due to forced outage.
01:41 The Energy Department said they will know if there is a breach to pay for electricity
01:45 with the help of artificial intelligence and big data analytics.
01:49 If the results of the study show a correlation on aberrant behavior,
01:57 then that is going to be brought to the attention of both the Energy Regulatory Commission
02:04 and the Philippine Competition Commission.
02:09 Contingency plans also avoided the effect of a drop in the grid of 1,800 megawatts due to forced outage.
02:15 But because almost every heat is lacking, the DOE admitted that additional plants are needed.
02:23 What we have experienced is that some power plants or proposed power plants, for example, are facing delays
02:32 because of delays in the issuance of permits.
02:37 The plants that are forced outage are now growing one by one and are expected to increase in the weekend.
02:43 I hope that there will be no more mistakes, especially since the demand is expected to increase.
02:49 But the brownout is a vicious one and many businesses are suffering, like the welder, Junel.
02:55 We will lose our livelihood because there is no electricity.
02:59 We have a family. Of course, we feed our family.
03:03 For GMA Integrated News, Mackie Polido, for Tutok, 24 hours.
