(Eagle News)–Panay Island has a stable power supply.
Energy Assistant Secretary Mario Marasigan issued the statement after a generating plant went offline on Jan. 17.
According to Marasigan, the island does not have a rotational brownout situation with the power supply stable prior to the January 17 incident.
He said the exception was when the region had a high power demand that led to a prolonged blackout on Jan. 2.
“So ngayon po para maiwasan po natin na huwag magkaroon pa ng sitwasyon (gaya ng noong) January 2, kung mayroon pang isa o dalawang planta na magkakaroon pa ng problema, saka po sila magiisyu ng talagang advisory na magkakaroon ng manual o tripping,” he said.
He said so far, the other plants’ operations have been continuous.
“…At hanggang ho ngayong umaga, stable naman po yung services ng kuryente…,” he said.
