Visayas power instability threatens regional reliability

The Visayas grid remains under prolonged red- and yellow-alert conditions, with substantial unavailable generation, forced outages, and transmission constraints affecting reserve transfers to Negros. AboitizPower's 15-year agreements include 48.2 MW for the Visayas and Negros Occidental cooperatives, while reported dependable Negros baseload remains below peak demand; current outage risk is unresolved.
