System operator National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) carried out its ‘blackout simulation drill’ as part of its emergency preparation measures in case any of the power grids would descend into unwanted power interruptions or brownouts.
Similar to last year, the company noted the activity was done in a virtual setting to observe social distancing measures because of the Covid-19 pandemic. But just the same, the outcome was still well intended at “ensuring stable and reliable transmission services in the event of a major power disturbance or emergency.”
NGCP said its systems operations personnel spearheaded the simulation drill, and this was done in collaboration with key industry stakeholders – including the power generation companies, distribution utilities and government agencies like the Department of Energy (DOE), National Electrification Administration (NEA) and National Transmission Corporation (TransCo).
