Alsons Power Celebrates 33 years with Nationwide Environmental and Community Initiatives

 

In celebration of its 33rd year in the power industry, Alsons Power Group, the power generation arm of the Mindanao-based Alcantara Group, launched its first-ever “We Power with Care Day,” on July 11, marked by simultaneous environmental and community development activities across the country, reinforcing the Group’s commitment to sustainability and inclusive growth.

In celebration of its 33rd year in the power industry, Alsons Power Group, the power generation arm of the Mindanao-based Alcantara Group, launched its first-ever “We Power with Care Day,” on July 11, marked by simultaneous environmental and community development activities across the country, reinforcing the Group’s commitment to sustainability and inclusive growth.

The We Power with Care Day mobilized more than 600 individuals, including Alsons Power employees, community members, and local government partners across key sites in Bohol, Iligan, Makati, Negros Occidental, Sarangani, and Zamboanga. The participants took part in tree planting, river and coastal cleanups, and school support programs, bringing to life Group’s brand promise, “We Power with Care.”

“This isn’t just an anniversary event. It is a reflection of who we are and what we stand for. It’s our way of giving back to the communities we serve and bringing to life our brand promise, We Power with Care,” said Antonio Miguel B. Alcantara, Chief Executive Officer of Alsons Power, during the Kick-off program of the We Power with Care Day.

From Luzon to Mindanao, various activities took place across the Alsons Power’s project and business units:

·       In Zamboanga City, Western Mindanao Power Corporation (WMPC) led a coastal cleanup in Sitio Bukana Mala, Bolong, collecting 25 sacks of non-biodegradable wastes, weighing around 125 kilos, with the help of over 75 employees and community volunteers.

·       In Murcia, Negros Occidental, Bago Hydropower Resources Corporation (BHRC) organized a river cleanup in Sitio Balasyang, removing 900 kilos of waste and engaging around 50 local stakeholders.

·       Mapalad Power Corporation (MPC) in Ubay, Bohol planted 150 tree seedlings within the plant premises with the help of 100 employees and volunteers from the community and government, supporting reforestation and biodiversity conservation in the area.

·       In Iligan, Alsons Power Supply Corporation (APSC) and MPC Iligan spearheaded a coastal cleanup at Centennial Park in Dalipuga, collecting 110 kilos of recycleable and non-biodegradable waste and mobilizing over 75 volunteers.

·       Siayan-Zambo River Power Corporation (SZPC) conducted a tree planting activity in Barangay Poblacion, Siayan, Zamboanga del Norte, planting 120 narra trees with the support of 100 volunteers.

·       The Group’s Makati team helped green La Mesa Eco Park through a tree planting activity involving over 32 employees and 150 seedlings.

·       In Sarangani, Sarangani Energy Corporation (SEC) and Siguil Hydro Corporation brought the spirit of “We Power with Care” to schools by turning over Smart TVs, school bags, and supplies to more than 500 students from nearby schools. A special book reading session was also held. Earlier that day, employees from both plants also participated in a tree planting activity within the SEC premises as part of the celebration.

Aside from education and environmental activities, Alsons Power also turned over the community share of the Municipality of Maasim and Barangay Kamanga from the SEC, reinforcing the Group’s commitment to inclusive growth and sustainable development. The community share forms part of the Department of Energy’s Energy Regulation ER 1-94 program, which requires energy companies to allocate funds to support local communities. These funds can be used for infrastructure, livelihood, and other local development initiatives.

Under the Energy Regulations (ER) 1-94 program of the Department of Energy, host communities of power generation facilities are entitled to financial benefits to fund electrification, livelihood, health, and environmental projects.

These efforts reinforced Alsons Power’s commitment to its brand promise, “We Power with Care,” highlighting the Group’s broader push to integrate sustainability into its operations and uplift the communities it serves.

Founded in 1992, Alsons Power was one of the pioneers in addressing power shortages in Mindanao through its partnership with the National Power Corporation under the Northern Mindanao Power Corporation. Today, the company operates over 460 megawatts of capacity from a mix of renewable and conventional energy sources.

With a growing pipeline of hydro and solar projects, Alsons Power is actively expanding its renewable energy portfolio, aligned with national goals for cleaner, more sustainable power generation.

Turn Risk into Strategy – Join PetroSync’s API 580 & 581 Training on Risk-Based Inspection Excellence


 

Kuala Lumpur, 18 July 2025 - Unlock the power of risk-based inspection. Join PetroSync’s API 580 & 581 Training and drive smarter decisions for asset reliability and safety.

Are You Still Using Traditional Inspection Methods?

Imagine you're managing a facility filled with high-pressure vessels, aging pipelines, and critical process equipment. Every year, you're required to inspect everything based on a fixed schedule—regardless of whether it's truly at risk or not. The result? Unnecessary downtime, excessive maintenance costs, and a growing sense of uncertainty.

If this scenario feels familiar, you're not alone. Many professionals still rely on time-based inspections that don’t prioritize the most critical risks. Traditional inspection methods may tick compliance boxes, but they often fall short in efficiency and accuracy. That's where Risk-Based Inspection (RBI)—backed by API 580 and 581—steps in to change the game.

How API 580 & 581 Help You Make Smarter Inspection Decisions

RBI is not just another inspection strategy—it's a smarter, data-driven approach. The API 580 & 581 standards provide a structured methodology for identifying, evaluating, and prioritizing risks in process equipment.

API 580 outlines the principles and framework of RBI, offering guidance on implementing an effective risk-based inspection strategy.

API 581 dives deeper into the technical aspects, providing quantitative tools for risk assessment, including probability of failure (PoF) and consequence of failure (CoF) calculations.

By applying these standards, companies can shift from reactive maintenance to a proactive risk management mindset. RBI helps reduce unnecessary inspections, extend equipment life, and, most importantly, focus resources on what truly matters—high-risk areas.

🔗 Learn more about the standards here: api 580 & 581

From Confusion to Confidence: How PetroSync Helps Professionals Master RBI

Whether you're an inspector, engineer, or asset integrity manager, the course is designed to simplify complex concepts through real-world case studies, interactive discussions, and hands-on exercises.
