The Department of Energy (DOE) expressed optimism there would be no power supply shortage in the dry months next year
“There are a lot of RE [renewable energy] generators that are coming in until the end of this year and starting next year. And if all those projects are able to fulfill all requirements for permits, and they are able to construct, we should not have that problem next year,” DOE Undersecretary Rowena Guevara said in a Senate hearing last week.
She said the power supply constraints experienced in the dry months this year were not as bad was what the DOE expected. Guevara said in a previous conference that power supply was expected to remain stable in the Luzon grid in the remaining months of 2023. The grid operator declares a yellow alert when there is not enough power reserves. There is no power outage or interruption during a yellow alert.
