A veteran in the Philippines’ power industry, Alsons Power Group’s Edgar D Sevilles is meeting the challenges of a highly competitive market and a rapidly expanding economy.
Over the past 42 years, Edgar D Sevilles has played a pivotal role in shaping the power economy of the Philippines. A registered electrical engineer with a Master of Management, he worked his way up the ranks at government-owned National Power Corporation (NPC). Earning the position of Department Manager for the company’s barge fleet, Edgar was responsible for the management, supervision, operation and maintenance of two tugboats and 17 power barges with a combined capacity of 458 megawatts (MW). »
In 1993, Edgar transferred to Alsons Power Group (APG) as Deputy Operations Manager of Northern Mindanao Power, the Group’s first foray into the power industry. “When I joined the company, the Mindanao power grid was supplied predominantly by two government-owned hydro power plants located in the north. These plants were vulnerable to weather changes, which resulted in frequent shortages in power supply,” explains Edgar. “These circumstances presented the opportunity for Alsons to expand its power business, and we did so through strategic partnerships with Tomen Power Corporation of Japan and Aboitiz Power. I rose to become Operations Manager of the Diesel Power business portfolio, then Alsons Vice-President of Operations, and in 2013, I was promoted to my current role as Vice-President Business Manager for Diesel Operations.”
