DOE SECRETARY ALFONSO G. CUSI STATEMENT on Power Supply Situation, Aug 5
FRIDAY, AUGUST 5, 2016
(Taguig City, Aug 5) -- "In view of the recurring yellow and red alert status announced by the system operator, NGCP in the past few days, the DOE is now closely looking at the possible violations by these power utilities given the current energy situation.
“These debilitating power interruptions are in total violation of the EPIRA. We have already requested the ERC to investigate these persistent power brownouts and to take appropriate actions, pursuant to their mandate to regulate industry players.
"I have also instructed the DOE Power Bureau to conduct technical audits/plant inspections prioritizing those that have forced outages."
