The Philippine Energy Efficiency Alliance called for a strategic shift to address the tight power supply by managing peak demand as a prerequisite to planning new generating and transmission capacities.
“While it would be theoretically impossible to achieve a totally flat demand curve, our energy-use economy should at least aspire to reduce the 3.3 GW bump in peak demand every summer,” Ablaza said. He said PE2 believes that the thinning of power reserves every summer is always brought about by the vicious cycle where the end-use economy perpetually requires more energy when ambient temperatures soar.“The hotter the weather, the more energy is required to provide cooling through air conditioning and refrigeration,” Ablaza said.
He said the grids always plan for the April-May summer peak demand for available generating capacities, which have recently risen by up to 27 percent from than the annual low demand every January.
