DOE: Luzon grid back to normal, no more brownouts expected

The Luzon grid returned to normal on Thursday with sufficient power supply reserves and no expected rotational brownouts.

Energy Secretary Alfonso Cusi apologized for the previous three days of red alerts due to adverse weather conditions reducing demand.

Forced outages took out 1,372 MW of capacity while planned outages reduced another 435 MW.

The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines reported an available supply of 11,601 megawatts compared to a projected peak demand of 10,331 MW.
