Meralco PowerGen Corp. (MGEN), the power generation unit of Manila Electric Co., announced Friday the adoption of IBM Maximo Application Suite (MAS), an advanced asset lifecycle management (ALM) solution.
The setup enables MGEN to operate with greater efficiency, data-driven precision and full visibility across its generation assets, solidifying Maximo’s role as a critical enabler of their operational excellence.
“At MGEN, innovation is not just about new technology — it is about rethinking what is possible to address the energy trilemma — to deliver reliable, affordable and sustainable energy for the people,” said MGEN President and CEO Emmanuel Rubio.
“With this partnership, we are harnessing the power of digital transformation to future-proof our operations, accelerate decarbonization and build an energy system that works better for the people and the planet.”
IBM MAS provides rapid retrieval and summarization of asset data for seamless monitoring, maintenance and reliability planning.
“Our mission to power the good life by providing reliable, cost-competitive and sustainable energy is anchored on resilience, excellence and innovation,” said Kenny Ryan Martinez, vice president and head of IT at MGEN.
“Our collaboration and the adoption of IBM Maximo Application Suite further empowers us to lead the Philippines toward a low-carbon future. As our business evolves, Maximo evolves with us — enabling us to develop efficient technologies and systems and continue driving the economic momentum and growth of the nation.”
MGEN chose to implement this tool to achieve a unified view of its asset data. This enables more efficient management of high-value assets by leveraging real-time and historical data to make decisions.
As an asset-intensive organization, MGEN will leverage MAS to streamline and integrate its most critical operations — from creating work orders and managing service requests to tracking assets, inventory and procurement workflows.
By providing comprehensive visibility and control across the entire asset lifecycle, Maximo Application Suite empowers MGEN to enhance operational efficiency, reduce downtime and maximize asset performance.
This unified approach not only supports MGEN’s current operational needs but also positions the company to adapt to future challenges, ensuring its asset management strategy remains robust and future-ready.
MGEN operates a diverse power generation portfolio that utilizes advanced, highly efficient and low-carbon technologies. It is currently present in 12 provinces in the Philippines, utilizing solar, thermal and LNG in its energy portfolio.
It is constructing the MTerra Solar Project, the world’s largest integrated solar PV and battery energy storage system facility, which is currently under construction in Nueva Ecija and Bulacan.
It also has a stake in PacificLight Power, an electric power generator and retailer that operates one of Singapore’s most efficient and modern power plants.
