The Philippines braces for significant power cuts as heatwaves and power plant outages lead to critical electricity shortages in its primary grids.

The National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) issued a red alert, indicating a severe supply-demand gap, with potential outages affecting 32 areas in the Visayas and several regions, including Manila, in Luzon.

Amid escalating fuel prices compounded by geopolitical tensions, authorities urge immediate resolution of plant issues and promote energy-saving measures. The Department of Energy demands full transparency from NGCP on the disruptions affecting millions of residents.
