Ano ang yellow alert?

With four yellow alerts announced by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines last August - specifically August 05 when supply was 2,528 MW versus demand of 2,475 MW, 14 power plants shutdown, and 5 power plants derated - entails that power supply has no safety margin to suffice power demand. It would also mean higher risk of power interruptions during peak demand, as well as higher electricity bills due to generation and transmission cost increase.

Why is it happening? To date, there are 11 plants offline since April, 6 plants offline since 2023, 6 plants running below full output, and total unavailable supply of 744 MW.

"Perhaps it’s time we stopped treating yellow alerts as mere technical advisories and started reading them for what they really are: warning signs that the system we depend on is cracking under pressure. Unless the government, regulators, and power companies get ahead of this, consumers will keep paying the price - literally."
