THE Department of Energy on Friday said it expects thin power reserves during summer next year when demand for electricity is at its peak.
“We can project for now what months we will be having thin reserves, and we see that in the months of April to June. What we are looking at Citing initial projections, the DOE said it was “more worried this summer” when demand reaches its peak as many consumers use airconditioning. During this period, the supply of gas will temporarily stop, and will lead the power plants to switch to alternate sources of fuel.
A “must-run” status means that the concerned power plant must supply electricity to the grid under all conditions.Meanwhile, Meralco has commenced the Competitive Selection Process for 480 megawatts of supply meant to address the increase in demand starting next year.
