THE Department of Energy expects the issuance of yellow alert warnings to continue for the rest of the year, following Monday’s rotational brownout after the tripping of a transmission line that disrupted operations at a major power plant.
A red alert status is issued when power supply is insufficient to meet consumer demand and the regulating requirement of the transmission grid. “Given the N-1 contingency in place at NGCP’s Bolo-Masinloc Line, and the automatic transfer of loads from Line 2 to Line 1, the tripping of 2 Masinloc units was both unexpected and undesirable,” the NGCP said in a statement.
“Our energy mix is still dominated by coal and other dirty energy sources, which have proven to be inflexible during times of high demand. This is the same thing we experienced in the past few years, and it’s only going to get worse and more costly for consumers,” said Yu in a statement.
