“NOT our fault.” In so many words, representatives of the country’s power generation, transmission and distribution sectors declared separately that they are not to be blamed for the recent power outages that hit Luzon and Visayas.
The rotational power interruption on May 8 lasted for only one to two hours in the franchise areas of the Manila Electric Company . If it had lasted for five hours, this may have resulted in about P556 million in economic losses, according to Philippine Independent Power Producers Association Inc. President Anne Estorco Montelibano.
“The generators tripped because the line tripped. It was the transmission line that tripped first, followed by the Masinloc tripping,” commented DOE Undersecretary Rowena Guevara. “We have to coordinate with power plants if their settings are consistent with us. It has to be consistent with the settings submitted and tested by NGCP at the time they were connected. Everyone’s settings have to be consistent with each other. We are three here: generation, transmission and distribution. Otherwise, there will really be inconsistencies and avoidable interruptions,” Alabanza said.
“The government has always been fully aware of State Grid’s interest and participation in NGCP. State Grid was the foreign member of the consortium that won the concession over the transmission system after an open and competitive public bidding, which was conducted four times. This consortium eventually formed NGCP to act as the concessionaire,” NGCP Assistant Corporate Secretary Atty. Ronald Concepcion pointed out.
