Winners of the recently conducted TeaM Energy Skills Improvement in Control Analysis Tournament (SICAT) at the Pagbilao Power Station, receive their certificate of participation during the tournament’s awarding ceremony.

SICAT is a unique skills competition among members of the power plant’s operations group. It is a way to sharpen the skills of the power plant engineers as part of ensuring the reliable supply of electricity.

The competition is meant to test their preparedness to deal with technical issues and emergency situations in the control room that may threaten the power plant’s continuous operations.
