Undersecretary Zamzamin Ampatuan has recently issued a statement that what we have in Mindanao is something short of a looming power crisis.. The Generation Capacity of 1,681 MW clearly shows that there is no existing generation shortfall. The current Demand of 1,320 MW clearly shows a 360 MW reserve capacity. The tight situation is brought about by the Transmission Backbone constraints where the lines can only carry 180 MW from North to South Mindanao. The scenario of power shortages is played-up to justify additional projects in an already crowded sector, true enough we will need additional power plants scattered all over the island, in order to lessen the strain on the Backbone transmission network.
