Quennie Bronce, head of the Reputation Enhancement Department at Visayan Electric, told CDN Digital that just last Thursday afternoon, April 27, 2023, the total demand at about 2 p.m. of that day reached 614 megawatts. While the NGCP lifted the red alert status it issued on Thursday, and the consequent rotational brownouts advisory of Visayan Electric, for now, Bronce appealed to consumers to conserve energy by making sure that their appliances are well-maintained and take advantage of natural lighting if possible.
Consequently, VECO, on the same day, issued a separate advisory warning its consumers of a “high possibility” of rotational brownouts.
