NGCP lifts Red, Yellow alert over Luzon Grid
The Luzon grid was placed on yellow alert on Wednesday, June 2, 2021, from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m., 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., and 11 p.m. to 12 a.m., indicating thin reserves.
The grid was subsequently placed under Red Alert from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. due to a generation deficiency.
The available capacity was at 11,260 megawatts while the operating requirement was at 11,976MW, resulting in an operating margin deficiency of -716.
The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) lifted the red and yellow alert status at 3:21 p.m. due to receding system demand.
The Department of Energy (DOE) attributed the lifting of alert statuses to low system demand and the synchronization of Sual Unit 2.
Despite the early entry of Sual Unit 2, Pagbilao Unit 2 experienced a forced outage due to a boiler water wall tube leak.
