I. Yellow Alert Issuance
The NGCP has issued a Yellow Alert advisory for the Luzon Grid from 10:01 AM to 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM today.
II. Entry of Power Plants
South Luzon Thermal Energy Corp. (SLTEC) Unit 1 of Ayala is now running on full load. It was synchronized to the grid at 2:03 AM today and achieved full load at 8:50 AM.
III. Changeover of First Gen's San Gabriel Nat Gas Plant
Starting 1:00 PM today, the 420 MW total capacity of San Gabriel will be reduced by 210 MW due to gas volume restrictions.
This restriction will only take effect over the weekend to give way to the necessary line pack recovery in preparation for weekday demand. In this regard, one unit of Santa Rita will be operating on liquid fuel to ensure that all units of the Santa Rita, San Lorenzo, and San Gabriel plants will be able to run on their maximum outputs.
Initial NGCP assessment indicates that the changeover will not have any impact on the situation of the grid.
IV. Forced Outage of Pan Asia Energy Inc.'s Limay A1
At 12:41 AM today, Limay A1 (70 MW) went on forced outage due to a tripping from actuation of turbine overspeed relay.
