NGCP explains Negros-Panay 3-day power outage

THE National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) clarified the events which led to a series of power outages in Negros and Panay from April 27 to 29, 2023, at the House Committee on Energy hearing on Tuesday, August 15.

The NGCP said that although the April 27 disturbance was identified at the Bacolod-Silay 69-kilovolt (kV) line, which is co-owned by the Central Negros Electric Cooperative Inc. (Ceneco), no fault was found along the NGCP-owned segment and its protection system functioned as intended.
