MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Win Gatchalian urged the Department of Energy (DOE) to ensure that the grid operator and private energy firms comply with the rules, following reports of possible thin power supply during election period. 

 

"I am calling on the DOE to ensure that the NGCP (National Grid Corp. of the Philippines) and all other private companies follow the rules. If they do not comply, then don't let them operate, because the consumers will suffer," Gatchalian, who chairs the Senate's energy committee, said in a video posted on his official Facebook page Monday. 

 

Last week, NGCP pointed out that the Luzon grid may experience thin operating margins- or power in excess of demand- during the summer season, which includes the crucial elections day on May 9, driven by increased energy consumption.
