Malampaya outage in the Philippines raised to 2170MW

Will the back-up plants be enough to cover for the shutdown?

The energy department revealed that 2,170MW of power from Malampaya will be non-operational during the 20-day maintenance period. The initial outage was 1,850MW.

Undersecretary Felix William B. Fuentebella was quoted in a report saying that power plant Avion can run on diesel, but San Gabriel plant cannot, raising the total outage to 2,170MW.

The Malampaya shutdown will run from January 28 to February 16. Consequently, a power rate hike of P1.44 per kWh will be imposed.
