MANILA, Philippines (UPDATED) – The Manila Electric Company announced on Friday, May 16, a tentative one-hour rotating brownout in portions of Manila, Quezon City, Caloocan, Malabon, and Navotas in Metro Manila, and in Marilao, Bulacan.
Meralco said on its Twitter account that this was prompted by a power supply deficiency affecting these areas. The power plant in Pagbilao, Quezon, encountered some problems, prompting an alert for the Luzon grid from 2 to 4pm Friday, according to reports.
Meralco did not say if the rotating brownout will be only for today.
Last April 2014, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines warned about tight power supply due to a glitch in the Masinloc coal-fired power plant. Luzon was put on “yellow alert” starting April 15.
Power supply is usually tight during summer months as demand for electricity is higher than supply. There are also many power plants scheduled for maintenance and repairs during this time. – Rappler.com
