NGCP lifts red alert over Mindanao grid on Sept. 10

The red alert status over the Mindanao grid was lifted as of Thursday evening, September 10, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) said.

“As of 6 p.m., red alert has been lifted by NGCP for the Mindanao grid,” the advisory read.

The grid currently has an available capacity of 2,641 megawatts (MW) against a peak demand of 2,546 MW.

The red alert was in effect from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m., while a yellow alert was issued from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

A red alert status is issued when available power supply is insufficient to meet consumer demand and the transmission grid’s regulating requirements. — VBL, GMA News
