The Mindanao grid has been placed under red and yellow alerts multiple times due to insufficient power supply and high consumer demand. On Wednesday, the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) raised a red alert from 1:00 p.M. To 4:00 p.M. And again from 5:00 p.M. To 8:00 p.M.
Electricity generation capacity in the region has dropped faster than peak demand, with power reserves falling to 98 MW on August 31. This decline has led to ongoing alerts across the Visayas and Mindanao grids. The NGCP has issued advisories indicating that the Visayas grid will remain under red alert for nine hours on Thursday, from 1 p.M. To 10 p.M.
High electricity demand continues to strain the power supply, prompting repeated alerts. The situation highlights the growing challenge of meeting energy needs in the region, with power shortages affecting both residential and commercial sectors.
