MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Energy (DoE) said Friday that it does not yet see any issues which will affect the dry season, after the transmission service provider said the Luzon power grid may experience thin operating margins during the period.

 

The National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) earlier forecasted thin operating margins- or power in excess of demand- in the Luzon grid from April to June, which includes the critical election period.   

 

"Based on our estimates from submissions of stakeholders, so far, we do not see any specific concerns which can affect the supply of power this summer, and preparations for elections," Mario Marasigan, the DoE Director Electric Power Industry Management Bureau, said in Tagalog during an interview with SuperRadyo DzBB.
