Rotating blackouts back in Manila, South Luzon

Rotating blackouts hit Metro Manila and southern Luzon anew as three power plants remain bogged down, said the Manila Electric Co. (Meralco).

Lopez-owned Meralco also announced on their Twitter account earlier today that “there is a tentative 1-hr rotating brownout today due to power supply deficiency”, but did not give further details.

An earlier tweet (short 140-character message) by @meralco said they are “to effectively manage the deficiency to all consumers in its franchise area so as to avoid a massive blackout.”

Three power plants - the Sta Rita Module 30, Sual Unit 1 and Malaya are out of commission due to “fuel constraints” and fuel pump sanction troubles in Malapaya and Sta. Rita, which have been undergoing scheduled maintenance since February, also prompted Meralco to implement the blackouts.

Rotational brownouts were also implemented yesterday as the power supply remains thin and demand shoots up in Luzon as the hot months loom. Mindanao, which has been experiencing severe blackouts that last up to 12-hours, has been placed under a state of calamity.

In a text message to abs-cbn, Meralco said one-hour rotating brown-outs will start from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. today.

Taken from the abs-cbn article, posted below are the areas affected for rotating blackouts later today.
