MANILA, Philippines — Senator Sherwin Gatchalian pressed the Department of Energy (DOE) for an explanation on its “off” power projections after the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) placed the Luzon grid on red alert Monday afternoon.
Gatchalian, chairman of the Senate energy committee, said his panel was earlier assured by the agency that there will be no brownouts as the government rolls out its COVID-19 vaccine program.
“The committee was assured by the DOE that no brownouts will happen given that the country is in a delicate stage of its vaccine rollout,” the senator said in a tweet Tuesday.
