潘塔班甘大坝的水位下降，可能会因厄尔尼诺现象而导致水力发电厂关闭。 Pantabangan Dam's water levels decline, potentially causing a hydroelectric plant shutdown due to El Niño.

潘塔班甘大坝的水位正在下降，截至 3 月 19 日已达到 179.97 米，如果水库比当前水位下降 3 米，可能会被迫关闭。 The Pantabangan Dam's water levels are declining, reaching 179.97 meters as of March 19, potentially forcing a shutdown if the reservoir drops by 3 meters from its current headwater level. 由于厄尔尼诺现象，洛佩兹领导的管理该大坝的公司 First Gen 可能需要比预期提前关闭其 132 兆瓦的 Pantabangan-Masiway 水力发电厂，一旦水位超过临界水平，就会恢复运营。 First Gen, the Lopez-led company managing the dam, may need to close its 132-megawatt Pantabangan-Masiway hydroelectric power plant earlier than expected due to El Niño, with operations resuming once the water elevation goes above the critical level.
