Senator Sherwin Gatchalian is pushing for a Senate inquiry to tackle the persistent energy crisis and propose possible legislative solutions amid ongoing tight power supply that is further exacerbated by El Niño.
“The persistent problem of insufficient electricity supply suffered by Filipinos requires a comprehensive solution from all electric power industry participants,” Gatchalian said. These solutions could also integrate full implementation of Republic Act 11258, also known as the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Act, including demand side management.Since April 16, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines has issued numerous yellow and red alerts, indicating thinning reserves or insufficient power supply.
Additionally, several generation units across the country operated at reduced capacities due to various issues. Over 2000 megawatts of energy were lost, resulting in power interruptions across 12 franchise areas and surging prices on the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market .
