First yellow alert in Luzon raised as buffer shrinks

Red and yellow alerts were raised across the Luzon grid on Wednesday, prompting warnings from Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) about the current system condition and possible Manual Load Dropping, or rotational power interruptions.

Areas affected included Bulacan, Cavite, Laguna, Metro Manila and Rizal.

A yellow alert is declared when reserve power falls below the required operating margin, although supply remains sufficient to meet current demand.
