Oriental Mindoro's power grid has successfully maintained a 9.93-megawatt (MW) reserve as of May 31, 2026, according to the National Transmission Corporation (TransCo). The total power demand in the province is 53.08 MW, with a dependable capacity of 63.01 MW, indicating a positive reserve. However, the dependable capacity remains significantly below the contracted capacity of 99.50 MW due to operational constraints affecting multiple power plants.
