Cagayan de Oro City Brown Out Schedule Sept. 20 to 23, 2010

NGCP Imposes Power Curtailments Anew Due to Mindanao-wide Power Supply Deficiency;

CEPALCO Areas to Experience 2 ½ Hours of Rotating Brownouts

The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines [NGCP] has again imposed power curtailments all over Mindanao due to a power supply shortage affecting the entire Mindanao Island. According to NGCP, the power supply shortage is due to the maintenance outage of NPC’s Pulangi 4 [Unit 1] and Agus 6 [Unit 1] hydro electric plants; non- operation of Therma Marine’s two power barges and reduced capabilities of some other NPC hydro plants.

Because of NGCP’s re-imposition of power curtailments, CEPALCO will again be scheduling rotating brownouts lasting for about 2 hours and 30 minutes per area.

Please find below the load shedding schedule / guide [2 hours & 30 minutes DAILY rotating brownouts] within the CEPALCO service area for the period Sept. 20 to 23, 2010. Again, CEPALCO would like to caution customers that the actual switch off and switch on time may vary from the announced schedule depending on the actual load curtailment levels imposed by NGCP on CEPALCO on a day to day basis.
