This is to inform residents of Davao that Davao Light announces 30-minute rotational brownouts which started yesterday until the end of February.
Power consumers in all of Davao Light and Power Company’s franchise will be experiencing 30-minute rotational brownouts up to end of February. Corporate Communications officer Ross Luga said the rotational outages started yesterday.
This, after the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) imposed on Monday, February 8, a 60 megawatt load curtailment on Davao Light. Today, NGCP requested that Davao Light will curtail a maximum of 68 megawatt. According to Luga the load curtailment is requested by NGCP due to reduced capabilities of Agus and Pulangi 4 Hydro Electric Plants as a result of receding water elevation in Lake Lanao and the low water inflow in Pulangi.
The reduced water elevation of the lakes is reportedly brought about by the onset of the El Nino phenomenon in Mindanao.
