Alsons Power is part of the Alcantara Group which has played a pivotal role in the economic development of Mindanao for over 60 years. We are Mindanao’s first and most experienced independent power producer, providing safe, reliable, and affordable electricity to fuel the island’s dynamic growth and expanding economy.
The Alcantara Group was born out of the vision of Conrado C. Alcantara, a visionary and pioneering entrepreneur that saw Mindanao’s potential back in the mid-1950s. Since then, the Alcantara Group has grown to become one of the largest and most diversified Filipino-owned conglomerates in the country.
In the early 1990s, massive power outages plagued the entire Mindanao and the rest of the Philippines. To answer the call for the private sector to help alleviate the power shortage, the Alcantara Group embarked on its first power generation venture with the start of commercial operations of Northern Mindanao Power Corporation in 1993.
The 100-megawatt Western Mindanao Power Corporation (WMPC) diesel plant in Sangali, Zamboanga City began operating in 1997. WMPC supplied power to the Mindanao grid from 1997 up to December 2015 under an 18-year Energy Conversion Agreement (ECA) with the National Power Corporation (NPC).
Since December of 2015, WMPC has been supplying power directly to the City of Zamboanga under a power sales agreement with the Zamboanga City Electric Cooperative, Inc.
The Alsons Power Group added 55 MW more to its portfolio with the Southern Philippines Power Corporation in 1998.
This diesel-fired power plant in Alabel, Sarangani Province supplied power to the Mindanao grid under an 18-year Energy Conversion Agreement (ECA) with the National Power Corporation.
As power outages once again began to beleaguer Mindanao in the early decades of the 21st century, the Alsons Power Group’s 210-megawatt Sarangani Energy Corporation (SEC) baseload coal-fired power plant began operating in early 2016 and provided much needed power that helped end the island-wide power shortage.
The SEC power plant locate in Maasim, Sarangani Province currently provides power to Sarangani Province, General Santos City and other key areas of Mindanao.
The Siguil hydroelectric power plant is located at the Siguil River basin in the municipality of Maasim, Sarangani Province. It is the Alsons Power Group’s first foray into the renewable energy sphere. Construction of the Siguil Hydro plant began in the last quarter of 2019 and work has continued despite the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The 14.5 megawatt Siguil Hydro plant is expected to begin commercial operations in 2023. When it becomes operational, the Siguil Hydro power plant will be a source of clean, reliable, affordable and renewable energy for the people of Mindanao.
The Alsons Power Group is a very reliable and responsible supplier of power, a major player in Mindanao, with growing presence in other parts of the country and in the Asia-Pacific region.
