The National Grid Corp. of the Philippines (NGCP) reported that among the provinces with power outages are Bicol, Camarines Norte, Romblon Samar, Eastern Samar, Northern Samar and Sorsogon.

Aside from the areas with power cut, there are also other lines affected which include the 230-kilovolt Tiwi A-Daraga, 230-kV Daraga-Bacman line 1 and 2 and the 350-kV line Allen-Ormoc.
