Negros Power’s Digital Transformation: Revolutionizing Customer Service for Today’s Fast-Paced World

In an era where digital accessibility and instant communication shape consumer expectations, Negros Electric and Power Corporation (Negros Power) has decisively redefined what it means to serve its customers. Since taking over power distribution operations in Central Negros in August 2024, the company has embarked on a transformative journey away from traditional utility service models—making customer experience faster, friendlier, and centered on convenience.

Breaking Away From the Past

Before Negros Power’s intervention, service centers were often overwhelmed with long queues, limited accessibility, and slow processes that left customers frustrated and underserved. The legacy system relied heavily on physical visits, phone hotlines with long wait times, and paper-based transactions—all of which were often inconvenient for many, especially in a world rapidly transitioning to digital norms.

The Digital Leap: Customer Service Streamlined

Negros Power disrupted this norm by modernizing customer care centers into welcoming, efficient hubs. More importantly, it deployed a multi-channel support system that reflects today’s mobile-driven lifestyle:

• Introduction of 24/7 helplines dedicated to different telecom providers and landline numbers, ensuring customers are always connected through their preferred platforms.

• A dynamic social media presence with over 163,000 followers where customers receive near-instant responses and real-time updates.

• Launch of an e-Billing program with 6,190 enrolled accounts, delivering safer, paperless transactions that can be accessed anytime, anywhere.

• Plans to roll out the Negros PowerUP mobile app, which promises full-service accessibility from bill payments to outage reporting on the go.

This transformation reflects not just technological upgrades but a fundamental cultural shift toward empathy, speed, and precision—a customer-first mindset that values time as much as service quality.

Impact and Relevance in Today’s Time

For customers in a fast-moving digital world, where everything from banking to shopping happens at their fingertips, the utility sector’s digital evolution is no longer optional—it is essential. Negros Power’s digital overhaul has empowered customers by:

• Eliminating barriers of distance and time, crucial for residents in far-flung barangays and sitios.

• Offering flexibility and convenience that align with modern digital behaviors—reducing stress and saving valuable time.

• Enhancing transparency and communication, thus building trust and stronger relations between consumers and their power provider.

• Enabling a proactive rather than reactive service model, where issues like pilferage reports, service applications, and billing concerns can be swiftly addressed digitally.

Setting a New Standard

Negros Power’s approach is a testament to how utilities can effectively harness digital tools and human-centered service design to meet the evolving expectations of today’s consumers. The emphasis on accessible, mobile-first solutions paired with personal care and community engagement positions Negros Power as a model for service excellence—illuminating not just houses but lives with meaningful, impactful change.

In sum, Negros Power’s digital transformation in customer service is both a strategic leap forward and a compassionate response to the needs of its customers in the digital age—bridging technology and heart in powering a brighter future for Negrosanons.
