Negros Power Helps More Families Get Safe Electricity with 2,210 Permits Approved in 2025
Many of us don’t think twice about having safe, reliable electricity. But for thousands of informal settler families, getting a legal connection can be difficult or even impossible. Negros Power is working to change that.
In 2025, the company reached a big milestone by approving 2,210 electrical permits. At the same time, it is making its Informal Settlers New Application Program (ISNAP) even stronger. This program is focused on making electricity easier, safer, and more accessible for everyone.
What Is ISNAP and Why It Matters
ISNAP is more than a program. It’s a real solution to a problem that’s been around for a long time. Many informal settlers face tough requirements when trying to get legal electricity. As a result, some turn to unsafe, illegal setups, which can pose serious dangers, such as electrical fires.
With ISNAP, Negros Power makes the whole process simpler. It helps people get permits from the Office of the Building Official and finish their applications with the power company. This makes everything smoother, faster, and less confusing.
This system is important because it gives families more control. Instead of feeling lost, applicants get help at every step.
Making the Application Process Easier
Government processes can be intimidating, especially if you don’t know what’s needed. ISNAP makes everything simpler and easier to follow.
Applicants no longer have to navigate the process alone. The program guides each step, especially benefiting those with limited access to information.
By simplifying the process, Negros Power saves time and encourages legal connections.
Promoting Safety in Every Community
Safety is one of the main reasons for ISNAP. Illegal electrical connections are not just risky—they are dangerous. These setups can cause fires and endanger entire communities.
ISNAP promotes proper, legal connections to make communities safer.
It’s about keeping homes, families, and livelihoods safe.
Bringing Services Closer to the People
What makes this initiative even more impactful is Negros Power’s direct connection with communities. Instead of waiting for people to come to them, their Community Relations Team goes out to different barangays every week.
These visits are more than just outreach. They are hands-on assistance sessions where residents can ask questions, submit applications, and get guidance in real time.
If you are interested in applying, you can check the official Negros Power Facebook page for schedules of their barangay visits. You can also visit their office directly for support.
This kind of grassroots approach shows that the company is serious about making its services accessible to everyone.
A Strong Commitment to Inclusive Service
Ms. Unice Castillon, Community Relations Assistant Manager, says ISNAP shows a deeper commitment. It’s not just about providing electricity—it’s about inclusivity, safety, and helping communities grow.
By focusing on informal settler communities, Negros Power makes sure no one is left behind. Every household deserves safe, legal electricity, no matter its situation.
Looking Ahead to a More Electrified Future
With over 2,000 permits approved this year, ISNAP continues to grow and improve. It’s a good example of how new ideas and working with the community can solve real problems.
As the program grows, more families will have reliable electricity and safer communities.
At the end of the day, this initiative proves one thing. When companies prioritize people, meaningful change happens.
