Davao Light encourages customers to conserve energy to avoid bill shock
With temperatures up due to the ongoing warm and dry season coupled with the effects of the El Niño phenomenon, Davao Light and Power Co., Inc. (Davao Light) once again reminded customers to conserve energy to avoid bill shock.
Even more so now that Mindanao was placed on yellow alert by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) last April 24, the island’s first time this year following the red alert raised in Luzon and the Visayas which resulted in rotational outages.
According to NGCP’s advisory, a yellow alert is raised when the power supply’s operating margin fails to meet the contingency requirement of the transmission grid. This was issued in Mindanao after nine (9) power plants were forced to shut down while five (5) were on reduced capacity as hydropower plants were affected by the El Niño phenomenon.
