00:00In the middle of the energy department's discussion, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines in the NGCP is yet to say
00:07if the current electricity supply will be enough for the upcoming elections.
00:11Maki Pulido is on the scene.
00:18During the last elections led by El Nino, Raymundo's hypertension increased.
00:23It was a hot day back then, there were still chances for a brownout.
00:27I felt dizzy and weak because there was no electric pad, so I would really go out even at night.
00:34Before the heat wave in 2024, the Department of Energy assured that there was a sufficient supply of electricity.
00:40But because several large plants forced shutdowns at the same time,
00:44the electricity was 10 times less or there was a red alert in Luzon,
00:47while the electricity reserve was 26 times less or there was a yellow alert,
00:52several times there was a rotational brownout, and the electricity shortage even increased.
00:57Just like back then, the Energy Department again assured that there was enough electricity for the upcoming elections.
01:03We will have sufficient supply, including the necessary ancillary services.
01:10So we don't see a yellow or red alert.
01:14It's different now because El Nino is gone, just like in 2024, and there are new sources of electricity, such as solar energy.
01:22In the worst-case scenario, like if several large plants are destroyed again,
01:26the Interruptible Load Program, or getting electricity from the generators of large businesses, will be enough to move to the places serviced by Miralco.
01:35Electricity can also be expensive.
01:37Worse comes to worse, then our diesel facilities are ready.
01:41Of course, because it's diesel, liquid fuel, the generation cost will be more expensive.
01:47Despite the DOE's assurance, the NGCP, which is trafficking maintenance shutdowns to the plants to estimate the power supply,
01:54said that it will answer in March if there is enough electricity in Tag-Init.
01:58Many things can change, so it needs to be updated.
02:03I hope they can do something so that the electricity fund will not be short.
02:09For people like the high bloods.
02:13For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido in Tutok, 24 Hours.
