The Lapu-Lapu City Council convened on September 23, 2026, with representatives from the National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP), the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), and the Mactan Electric Company (Meco). The discussions centered on rotational brownouts caused by a severe deficit in the region’s overall electricity production. The Council noted that consumers face a dual burden of these outages alongside rising monthly electricity bills driven by external generation, transmission, and ancillary service charges.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The NGCP attributed the grid interruptions to inadequate generation capacity and the unavailability of several power plants. The City Council pushed for solutions, including audits and detailed outage schedules, while a representative co-authored House Resolution 1430 to demand a congressional inquiry into regional ancillary service charges and power generation projects.

Recurring alerts and rotational brownouts involving the power sector have been reported since May 26, 2026.
