The power supply situation in Oriental Mindoro province, Philippines, has seen a slight improvement, with the electricity deficit reducing to 2.54 megawatts as of May 30. However, the situation remains critical as over 5.567 megawatts of load continues to go unserved, leading to power interruptions across various areas. The Oriental Mindoro Electric Cooperative (Ormeco) attributed the ongoing issues to operational constraints at local power plants, including low water levels affecting the Linao-Cawayan Mini-Hydro Power Plant, Inabasan Mini-Hydro Power Plant, and Catuiran Hydro Power Plant. Additionally, technical problems and emergency shutdowns at facilities like Greenforce Roxas and EPP SPC Roxas have further exacerbated the situation. As a result, residents and businesses have been facing recurring rotational brownouts, prompting Ormeco to appeal for public understanding while they work to restore normal operations.
