THE Department of Energy expects 17 yellow and three red alert warnings in May and June next year, mainly on account of thin power reserves in the Luzon grid.
“This usually falls in May and June because hydro plants in Luzon are unable to deliver at this particular point. So, these are the ones we are attending to with a sense of urgency and which is to plan for how to bridge this particular gap,” said Lotilla. “There is the hope that some natural gas facilities can come onstream before this, but even without this we have to plan for other contingency,” he added.
With these measures, Lotilla said the additional 668 MW GNPower Dinginin and other power plants in the pipeline in Bataan will be able to supply the needs of the Luzon grid.For the 2023 power outlook in the Visayas grid, the agency’s simulation result shows power supply will be sufficient during the afternoon peak in the first half of 2023. In the second half, there are still no power outages, but thin reserve is anticipated with a possibility of yellow alerts.
In the Mindanao grid, there is excess power supply with its operating margin much higher than the required dispatchable reserve. Similar to 2022, the Mindanao grid will still have surplus capacity for 2023 even after considering the forced outages.
