MANILA, Philippines — Sen. Risa Hontiveros on Wednesday reiterated her call to the Department of Energy (DOE) and Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC) to ensure adequate power for elections day which will fall during the dry season amid concerns of thinning reserves and possible power outages.

 

In a statement on the Senate's website, the lawmaker urged the two agencies "to ensure that power players do not resort to de-rating (reducing the power generation of plants) and unplanned outages during the election day."

 

Hontiveros expressed concern about the power situation during the polling period after climate and energy policy group Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (ICSC) pointed out that there may be power interruptions of varying lengths in the second quarter, which includes the critical elections day on May 9.
