(as of 6:40 PM)
The Department of Energy (DOE) has activated the Task Force Energy Resiliency (TFER) in light of this afternoon’s 5.7 magnitude earthquake.
Initial reports from the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) indicate that the earthquake caused power interruptions in Pangasinan, Pampanga, La Union, and Bataan. The provinces of Quezon, Batangas, Camarines Sur, and Sorsogon were also affected but have already been restored.
In the event that the affected facilities and capacities will be unable to come online, the occurrence of power outages is probable.
Situation updates on the status of energy facilities will be released as soon as the information becomes available.
Rest assured that the entire energy family will keep the public properly informed on the matter.
