RED ALERT EXTENDED

Red Alert
2:00PM-11:00PM

Yellow Alert
1:00PM-2:00PM
11:00PM-12:00AM

Available Capacity- 12,075MW
Peak Demand- 12,927MW

17 plants are on forced outage since May, 1 plant since April, 3 plants since March, 1 plant since February, 3 since January, 3 plants since 2025, 2 plants since 2024, and 1 plant out since 2019; while 14 plants are running on derated capacities, for a total of 4,828MW unavailable to the grid.

The extension of the Red and Yellow Alerts is due to the tripping of GNPD Unit 1, resulting in the loss of 668 MW and further aggravating the supply deficiency.

The Tayabas-Ilijan 500kV Line and the Dasmarinas-Ilijan 500kV Line were restored on 13 May 2026 at 2:44PM and 4:52PM, respectively. We are waiting for all the affected plants to resynchronize back to the grid.

A red alert status is issued when power supply is insufficient to meet consumer demand and the transmission grid’s regulating requirement.

A yellow alert is issued when the operating margin is insufficient to meet the transmission grid’s contingency requirement.

Luzon Grid Status as of May 14, 2026

Ano ang ibig sabihin ng Yellow Alert at Red Alert ?

- Ang ibig sabihin ng Yellow Alert ay mababa ang suplay ng kuryente, para hindi mag-overload ang power grid, kailangang bawasan ang demand ng kuryente sa pamamagitan ng pag-OFF ng mga appliances na hindi kailangang gamitin.

- Habang ang Red Alert naman ay tumutukoy sa kalagayan ng sistema kapag ang reserba ay umabot na sa zero o nagkaroon ng kakulangan sa generation company . Ito ay maaaring maging sanhi ng shutdown ng mga power plants o pagtaas ng pangangailangan ng mga konsumidores.

ADVISORY

Ipinababatid sa aming mga konsumidores na maaaring magkaroon ng rotational brownout dulot ng kakulangan sa suplay ng kuryente sanhi ng matinding init ng panahon. Kaugnay nito, hinihikayat namin ang lahat na makiisa sa pagtitipid ng kuryente upang makatulong sa pagpapanatili ng sapat na suplay.

Mga Paalala upang Makatulong na Maiwasan ang Rotational Brownout:

* I-unplug ang mga appliances na hindi ginagamit.
* Iwasan ang sabay-sabay na paggamit ng mga high-power appliances tulad ng aircon, plantsa, microwave, at heater.
* Gumamit ng LED bulbs upang makatipid sa konsumo ng kuryente.
* Patayin ang ilaw at appliances kapag hindi kinakailangan.
* Limitahan ang paggamit ng aircon at itakda ito sa tamang temperatura.
