“We are strictly monitoring and reviewing the weekly reports being submitted by the Generation Companies in compliance with our directive pertaining to the Reliability Performance Indices and Equivalent Outage Days Per Year of Generating Units,” ani ERC chairperson and CEO Agnes Devanadera sa isang statement.
Ayon sa opisyal, ilang GenCos ang lumampas sa maximum allowable unplanned outage noong Abril.
Isa ito sa itinuturong dahilan kung bakit humina ang reserba ng Luzon grid, na nauwi sa yellow at red alert simula noong Lunes.
Mayroong pitong araw ang mga GenCos para magsumite ng paliwanag sa ERC.
Iginiit naman ng komisyon, na sa ilalim ng Resolution No. 10, Series of 2020 noong Nobyembre ng nakaraang taon, mayroong hangganan ang taunang unplanned outage sa kada planta ng mga enerhiya.
“The said resolution sets forth the maximum or cap for annual unplanned outages per generating plant technology. The subject resolution became effective on 3 January 2021 upon completion of the required 15-day publication period,” ani Devanadera.
“The Commission promulgated the Rules for the Interim Reliability Performance Indices and Equivalent Outage Days Per Year of Generating Units to set the reliability performance benchmark per technology for all generating units in order to lessen the outages and ensure a reliable power supply and rate. This will also promote accountability of GenCos, the System Operator, and the Transmission Network Provider to achieve greater operations and economic efficiency”, dagdag ng opisyal.
