What We Do

First Gen is a player in the energy industry with 31 operating power plants strategically positioned in each of the three major island grids in the Philippines. The Company is one of the biggest Independent Power Producers (IPP) in the nation with a total installed capacity of 3,501.4 megawatts (MW).

First Philippine Holdings Corporation (FPH), one of the largest and oldest conglomerates in the Philippines, is the majority shareholder of First Gen. FPH has significant investments in power generation, real estate, manufacturing, construction, and engineering.

First Gen’s power facilities produce electricity using a variety of fuels and renewable resources, including natural gas, geothermal steam, hydroelectricity, wind, and solar energy. The electricity generated is primarily sold to privately-owned distribution utilities (DU) such as Meralco, National Power Corporation (NPC), electric cooperatives, large commercial and industrial clients through its Retail Electricity Suppliers (RES), the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Power Supply Agreements (PSAs), Power Supply Contracts (PSCs), Feed-In Tariff (FiT), Ancillary Service Procurement Agreements (ASPA), and the Wholesale Electricity Spot Market (WESM). Thereafter, distribution services and transmission lines deliver the electricity to customers.
