Thin power reserves looming in April READ MORE:
“Thin operating margins [power in excess of demand] from where ancillary services [power used to manage and balance the grid] are taken are forecasted for this year. For the Luzon grid, these are forecasted from April to June due to the historically-high demand during the summer months,” NGCP said in a statement.
NGCP said the base case projections show no occurrence of yellow or red alerts, but several weeks between March and April would see operating margins below the required levels on higher demand and the unavailability of some power plants.It said it coordinates the preparation and submission to the DOE of an annual Grid Operating and Maintenance Program—a consolidated preventive maintenance schedule of power plants, with consideration for the needed supply to meet the projected demand.
NGCP issues a yellow alert when the operating margin is insufficient to meet the transmission grid’s regulating and contingency requirement, which is at 668 MW each.
