The recurring grid alerts and power outages in the Visayas region have raised questions about accountability, with the Department of Energy (DOE) at the center of the scrutiny, according to a report from Philstar Biz.
The report highlights that the DOE, as the lead government agency overseeing the energy sector, must take responsibility for ensuring stable power supply. Officials have been urged to address the root causes of the outages, which have affected residents and businesses across the region.
Industry experts note that the issues stem from inadequate power generation capacity and transmission constraints. The DOE is expected to present a comprehensive plan to prevent future disruptions and improve grid reliability in the Visayas.
