Power outage in Negros and Panay #iloilocity #poweroutage #noelectricity #nanayandclaire #ngcp

"This morning, we (MORE Power Iloilo) were advised by NGCP that our franchise area MAY BE affected by Manual Load Drop (MLD) that will cause unscheduled power interruption in some areas. This is due to insufficient power generation supply as there is an unavailable power plant as of the moment. This is expected to last 3-5 days from now."

NGCP:
"Unscheduled power interruption in Negros and Panay sub-grid at 6:48PM due to the unplanned outage of PEDC Unit 3 (121.11MW) at 6:44PM. 
The unresolved internal issues of the remaining major power plants (PEDC Units 1 and 2, and PCPC) that precipitated the January 2 incident, qualify as a significant threat to system security.
However, following DOE and ERC instructions, another MLD may be implemented in the event of the tripping of another large plant in the Panay sub-grid."
