The Department of Energy DOE on Monday refuted a media report that the Luzon island has been placed on the second highest alert until June due to insufficient power reserves.
A newspaper citing the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines NGCP had reported that a yellow alert was raised in Luzon after several power plants were affected by a series of quakes in Batangas.
The report warned that residents may suffer brownouts and spikes in their electric bills for the rest of summer.
