At Masinloc Power Plant, we put safety above all else. It is the cornerstone of what we do and how we do things. Every day, as we produce electricity, we make sure that we are all operating with the utmost regard for our personal safety, health, and well-being - from the person right next to us to someone just passing by. Putting safety first is the right thing to do. We believe that it is just as important as any key business objective, and we measure ourselves by how safely we achieve our goals: Our safety practices will always come first, rooted in the core value that we when work safe, we go home safe.

Moreover, MPPCL is committed to surpassing environmental compliance and promoting stewardship by observing the highest standards and regulations, and safeguarding our environment in responsible corporate citizenship. Our EHS system at Masinloc Power Plant is founded on our commitment and our values to provide a safe workplace and clean environment - that all incidents or accidents can be prevented, and that a safe, pollution-free environment is a necessary condition of what we do.

Turbine Retrofit

To optimize plant efficiency, we improve various plant equipment that would greatly improve reliability and performance of the plant. In January 2018, Unit 2 Turbine underwent a successful retrofit, in partnership with Siemens, that modernized the Unit 2 steam turbine through the installation of new High Pressure Intermediate Pressure (HIP), and Low Pressure (LP) Turbine rotors and inner casings.

The Unit 2 Turbine Retrofit resulted to an additional 29MW power output, improved heat rate, and reduced carbon intensity. Our operational excellence is key to our long-term stability, resulting in outstanding financial results and a culture of excellence across the organization.

We see ourselves as a trusted partner in the Philippine development - cultivating vibrant model communities and bringing positive change that improves people's lives. Our community-based stakeholder engagement is both strategic and collaborative. We think of our host communities as our adopted home, their residents as our neighbors and partners.

In empowering them, we reflect their interests and concerns in our CSR thrusts and projects on the ground, which ensure both relevance and meaningful change for them. Our outstanding stakeholder engagement is our key to sustainability as it ensures that those parties who have an interest in our business remain fulfilled and continue to have confidence in us. Without them, we would not be successful.

We believe that a healthy community is a thriving one--able to prosper and sustain progress. Through our health program, particularly the Mobile Health Clinic, our goal is to maintain good health and help improve the condition and well-being of the people around us. MPPCL runs health awareness campaigns to complement the efforts of the Mobile Health Clinic which provides free health care services to the community.

We believe in uplifting our community and strengthening their economic condition. Boosting human capital development is key in helping alleviate poverty. Thus, we put premium on education to help ensure that every child becomes a reader by Grade One. We have also developed a scholarship program, teachers' enrichment workshops, and supplemental feeding, among others.

Through our Safe Drinking Water Project, we aim to ultimately provide the local residents of Masinloc, Zambales with access to potable water. This program seeks to restore the depleted resource bases that are critical to the survival of marginalized communities. The said program covers technical research, water infrastructure development, community organizing, capability building, and resource regeneration and conservation. For the past years, we have successfully restored upland and mangrove forests, along with upland infrastructure establishments such as bunkhouses and foot trails.

People empowerment is critical in helping to ensure growth in our surrounding communities. This is why we have established the Masinloc Community-based Livelihood and Skills Training Center. The Training Center seeks to strengthen capacities of marginalized groups to engage in productive activities. Through this, we can help expand opportunities for employment of out-of-school youth. This also widens the reach and distribution of micro-financing and enterprise development.
