Luzon grid, inilagay sa red alert.. 1M kostumer, nawalan ng kuryente — Meralco

ni Lolet Abania | June 18, 2022



Pinutol pansamantala ng Manila Electric Company (Meralco) ang suplay ng kuryente sa mahigit isang milyong customers nito ngayong Sabado, habang ang Luzon power grid ay inilagay sa red alert.


Sa isang advisory, ayon sa Department of Energy (DOE), alas-2:45 ng hapon ay isinailalim ng National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) ang Luzon grid sa red alert, na ang ibig sabihin ay nakaranas ng kakulangan sa power supply na maaaring humantong sa pagkakaroon ng power interruptions dahil sa tinatawag na “generation deficiency.”


Ito ang nag-trigger ayon sa DOE, para makaranas ng power interruption sa mga franchise areas ng Meralco at iba pang distribution utilities sa Luzon.


Sa hiwalay na advisory, sinabi ng Meralco na nagpatupad sila ng automatic load dropping (ALD), isang safety procedure kung saan ang kuryente o power ay kanilang pinutol sa mga certain areas dahil sa napakababang suplay nito nang mas maaga pa ng alas-1:53 ng hapon.


“This was due to the decrease of an approximate 1,200 megawatts in Meralco’s load affecting around 1.6 million customers in portions of Caloocan, Valenzuela, Malabon, Manila, Makati, Muntinlupa, Las Piñas, in Metro Manila; as well as parts of Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna and Cavite,” saad ng Meralco. Gayunman sinabi ng Meralco, “the power was fully restored by 2:11 p.m.”


Ayon naman sa DOE, “a report by the NGCP stated that the Hermosa-BCCP 230 kilovolt lines 1 and 2 tripped and isolated the Bataan Plants, resulting in ALD at Meralco and NGCP feeders at 1:53 p.m.” Ani pa ng ahensiya na ang mga apektadong ALD feeders mula sa Meralco at ang NGCP ay nai-restore ng alas-2:11 ng hapon at alas-2:30 ng hapon, ayon sa pagkakasunod.


“This prompted the DOE to instruct the NGCP to immediately resolve the transmission line issues, submit to the DOE the list of affected customers that experienced power interruption, and explain the details of the incident,” pahayag ng DOE.


“The DOE has also initiated its coordination with the Energy Regulatory Commission in addressing this matter,” dagdag ng ahensiya.
