The power crisis in Oriental Mindoro has worsened significantly after a fire broke out at an 8-megawatt power plant in Roxas on May 28, 2026. This incident has led to a further reduction in electricity supply, resulting in prolonged rotational brownouts across the province. The Oriental Mindoro Electric Cooperative (Ormeco) reported that electricity demand surged to 78.20 MW, while the available supply dropped to 58.99 MW, necessitating the implementation of manual load dropping in affected areas. The fire at the Green Force Energy Corp. plant, which was expected to contribute an additional 8 MW to stabilize the grid, has yet to have a restoration timeline provided. The ongoing energy crisis is exacerbated by low generation from renewable energy sources and several other plants undergoing maintenance. The situation has severely impacted local businesses and daily life, prompting Ormeco to coordinate with energy authorities to fast-track the activation of additional power facilities to alleviate the shortage.
