Negros Power: A Result of Joint Venture Agreement
Negros Power is the result of the Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) between CENECO and Primelectric Holdings Inc. Although not yet in operation, Negros Power is set to serve Bacolod City and Central Negros. Supported by MORE Power, this collaboration showcases a shared vision of reliable and efficient power distribution. MORE Power’s expertise and resources have played a crucial role, providing essential support with manpower, equipment, and training.
Commitment to Excellence
MORE Power, a reputable electric distribution utility serving Iloilo City, is known for its innovative approaches and commitment to improving electrical services. Their success in lowering power rates and sourcing from renewable energy suppliers sets a high benchmark for Negros Power to emulate. This collaboration emphasizes the importance of modernizing infrastructure and ensuring customer satisfaction.

Proof of Effective Collaboration
The collaboration between CENECO and Negros Power highlights the power of working together for better service. The proactive maintenance and rehabilitation of substations demonstrate a commitment to minimizing disruptions and enhancing electricity delivery. Consumers can expect a more reliable power supply and improved service quality as a result of this partnership.
Support from CENECO Employees
CENECO employees visited MORE Power in Iloilo late last year. This visit transformed their apprehension into enthusiasm for the Joint Venture Agreement. This ignited their optimism for the future of power distribution in Negros. They also got to appreciate the benefits of modern infrastructure and customer-centric approaches. Despite the requirement for CENECO employees to reapply to join Negros Power’s workforce, more than half of them seized the opportunity. Negros Power has welcomed them, and Castro has directed the Human Resource Department Manager to expedite proceedings. This underscores the company’s dedication to a swift and efficient transition.
A Bright Future Ahead
The support and collaboration between CENECO, Negros Power, and MORE Power signal a brighter future for power distribution in Bacolod City and Central Negros. This partnership aims to deliver top-quality electric services to the region with a focus on efficiency, reliability, and consumer satisfaction.
