MANILA - The government reduced National Power Corp.'s workforce in line with the state-owned company's new mandate to maintain operations in Mindano and off-grid areas.

In a letter to Napocor president Froilan A. Tampinco, Government Commission for Government Owned and Controlled Corporations chairman Cesar L. Villanueva said the agency approved a 2,455 staffing complement for the power firm based on the recommendation of the Department of Budget and Management.

Napocor however would have to submit to GCG an adjusted table of organization that further streamlines its organizational structure.

Napocor proposed an initial 2,472 plantilla positions, lower than the current 2,493 plantilla and non-plantilla employees. Non-plantilla employees are co-terminous, contractual and casuals without fixed tenures.

Created in July 2010 through Republic Act 101491, the GCG is tasked to “evaluate the performance and determine the relevance of GOCCs, to ascertain whether they should be reorganized, merged, streamlined, abolished or privatized, in consultation with the department or agency to which a GOCC is attached.” 

The approval of Napocor's new table of organization paves the way for a new wave of reorganization in the power firm, following its restructuring almost 10 years ago in 2003.

Under the company's restructuring, Napocor is to focus its operations on Mindanao and off-grid areas with the privatization of its major power plants in Luzon and the Visayas.
