The Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) will no longer implement the one-hour rotating power interruptions in Metro Manila today, company spokesman Joe R. Zaldarriaga said this afternoon.
The brownouts have been averted after the 1,200 megawatt (MW) Ilijan plant shored in an additional 450 MW this morning and with the actual peak demand in the Luzon grid reduced by about 200 MW.
Jesusit H. Sulito, senior adviser to the president of the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines, said the 1,200 MW Ilijan plant of Korea Electric Power Corp. is now generating 900 MWs for the Luzon grid.
The power interruptions in the Meralco franchise area, announced earlier, were originally scheduled to take place from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. -- Jose Bimbo F. Santos
