National Power Corporation - SPUG refers to the functional unit of NPC created to pursue the Missionary Electrification function; "NPC-SPUG Area" refers to a geographic area currently.
Around the latter part of the 1980s to early 1990s, power shortages gripped the country into a crisis. One of the measures implemented by NPC was the formation of the Integrated Barge Management Group (IBMG) to bring together the operation of the different power barges into a single unit. The barges with smaller capacities - such as, the 2 MW, 3 MW, 7.2 MW and 14.4 MW power barges - operated in some of the areas of The Small Island and Isolated Grids (SIIG) - created by NPC sometime in 1988 primarily to manage the operation of these facilities.
When the power crisis started winding down with the installation of new and larger base load power capacities, a number of power barges were scheduled for sale and disposal. In 1996, the function of IBMG was merged with that of SIIG, giving birth to what is now known as the Small Power Utilities Group or SPUG.
