Meralco advised residents to be “energy efficient” to help prevent brownouts.
Residents should avoid the unnecessary opening and closing the refrigerator door, clean electric fan blades and air conditioning vents, and unplug all appliances that are not in use.
Meanwhile, corporations and commercial establishments under the Meralco’s “Interruptible Load Program” can use their generators to prevent power outages in case of supply deficiency. /muf
