BEHIND THE LIGHTS

A Christmas tribute to AboitizPower's unsung heroes working the holidays

Kevin Roi Canubas, 29 and a first-time dad, will miss his daughter's first Christmas so the festive lights in homes can continue to shine.

Kevin's Noche Buena this year would be in the Cayanga-Bugallon solar plant in Pangasinan, where he works as a Grid Manager for Hedcor, AboitizPower's renewable energy asset manager, together with his team and away from his family.

"As a first-time dad, I sometimes find myself missing key moments with my daughter, especially as she celebrates her first Christmas. It's never easy, but it's all part of the responsibility I've embraced in this industry," Kevin said.

"We approach every day—whether it's a holiday or not—as just another Monday because, in the power industry, energy is always in demand, no matter the season. This holiday season is no exception," he explained.

As a Grid Manager, Kevin oversees the operation and maintenance of the 94 megawatt peak solar plant, ensuring it continues to deliver clean and efficient power to the grid.

"I pursued a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering because of my deep interest in innovation and technology. My passion for renewable energy stems from a desire to make a meaningful impact on the environment," Kevin recounted. "Being able to fulfill that passion as a Grid Manager is a tremendous source of fulfillment for me."

"We recognize the importance of ensuring the seamless operation of our assets, even during the holidays. Should any disruptions arise, our team remains on standby, ready to respond and resolve them promptly," he said.
