00:00It's just a taste of how hot it is, but the highest demand for electricity this year is yesterday.

00:08What will happen when May comes?

00:10When will the heat rise?

00:12And there's still an election.

00:14The Energy Department's answer to Maki Pulido's question.

00:21The MMDA doesn't want that.

00:22But in the heat of the moment, some say they need to take off their T-shirts.

00:27It's cooler. It's very hot. It won't last long.

00:32Even Baby didn't wear a T-shirt this afternoon so that her face won't get sunburned.

00:38Today, four places experienced a heat index in the danger category.

00:42Dagupan, Pangasinan, where it reached 45 degrees Celsius.

00:4642 degrees Celsius in Iba, Zambales.

00:49San Jose, Occidental, Mindoro and Cuyo, Palawan.

00:52And while the weather is getting hotter, the consumption of electricity is also increasing.

00:56Yesterday, the highest demand for electricity reached 11,900 megawatts.

01:03And yesterday, the NGCP declared a yellow alert.

01:06It means that there's enough supply of electricity, but there's a possibility of brownout if a plant is damaged.

01:12The yellow alert doesn't mean that we have a shortage of supply.

01:16The only shortage is the reserve for the biggest plant connected to our system.

01:24As the alert levels for the supply of electricity are starting again,

01:28Lola Cora is getting nervous, especially since the heat index is starting.

01:32Electricity is expensive. That's how the service will happen.

01:37According to the DOE forecast, the highest demand will be in May due to the heat index and election time.

01:44The demand could reach 17,000 megawatts and there's a need for a reserve.

01:49But the DOE said there's an available supply of 19,000 to 20,000 megawatts

01:53because they're expecting new plants for electricity.

01:56That's why the supply will increase by 20 percent.

01:58Even if the plants are damaged, the supply of electricity will be able to handle up to 700 megawatts.

02:04We included in our projection, when we simulate, the average for the last three to four years of outages.

02:12So that's already input.

02:14Jennie is still trying to get her laundry shop back.

02:17That's why she's hoping that there won't be a rotational brownout of this heat.

02:21If we don't have electricity, we won't be able to operate. We'll be closed.

02:25The DOE is not saying that the use of electricity will be reduced this heat.

02:30It's just that the use will be reduced.

02:32They will make the temperature of the air-conditioner 24 to 26 degrees instead of 18 degrees.

02:38They will also prepare an ice pitcher for cold water.

02:41That's why the refrigerator will be closed tomorrow.

02:44For GMA Integrated News, Macky Pulido, for Tutok, 24 Hours.

02:51.
