Visayas placed under extended Yellow Alert on May 21

The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) announced that the Visayas grid was placed under an extended yellow alert on May 21, 2026.

The alert is in effect from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Available capacity was recorded at 2,668 megawatts (MW) against a peak demand of 2,486 MW.

NGCP reported that 11 power plants have been on forced outage since May 2026, one since March 2026, three since 2025, two since 2024, two since 2023, and two since 2021. Fourteen plants are also operating at derated capacities, resulting in a total of 870.2 MW unavailable to the grid.

The extended yellow alert was attributed to the continued unavailability of large coal plants Therma Visayas Inc. (TVI) Units 1 and 2 and Panay Energy Development Corporation (PEDC) Unit 3, as well as an increase in forecasted system demand by around 43 MW.

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

The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) has implemented a manual load dropping (MLD) in the Visayas after it placed the grid under a Yellow Alert on May 21.

"Aside from the unavailability of Visayas' large coal plants TVI 1, TVI 2, and PEDC 3, the manual load dropping is being implemented to prevent the overloading of Daanbantayan-Tabango 230kV Line 2 due to the unplanned outage of CENPRI Diesel, PDPP1 Unit 5, PDPP3, PGPP2 Unit 1 amounting to 74MW," NGCP said.

Visayan Electric on Thursday, May 21, warned consumers in portions of Cebu City of possible one-hour rotational brownouts due to overloading of NGCP grid line equipment.

In an advisory, the power distributor said the possible outages may be implemented starting 7 p.m., with power expected to be restored by around 8 p.m.

The utility said the issue was caused by generation inadequacy in the Cebu-Negros-Panay subgrids, which led to overloading of the Tabango-Daanbantayan 230kV single-circuit transmission lines connecting Leyte and Cebu.
