More firms join ILP to help address power shortage

THREE more big companies have agreed to participate in the government’s Interruptible Load Program (ILP) to help reduce the strain on power demand in the Luzon grid next summer.

Under the ILP program, participating customers of Manila Electric Co. (Meralco) with large power loads, such as commercial establishments, operate their own generator sets if there is a need to augment generation capacity in the Luzon grid.
