The current power crisis and its effect on consumers

The Mindanao Grid is currently suffering from a Generation Shortfall of over 400 MW.

Power interruption will stay with us as long as the El Niño Phenomenon will not end, which
is expected to by the start of July 2010.

With the significant use of bunker fuel / diesel for generation, the Generation Charge will
shoot up by an average of P 2.00 / Kwh should the cost be instantaneously be recovered.

To mitigate the effects of the power interruption, everyone is enjoined to do their laundry
and ironing activities after 10 Pm., this way the Peak Demand can still be shaved significantly.
