Este estudio desarrolló un plan de transición para la posible privatización de la National Power Corporation (NPC) en Romblon, Filipinas. Mediante un diseño de métodos mixtos convergentes, se integraron las percepciones de los empleados de la NPC y de la junta directiva de ROMELCO —en la zona de Romblon aún no privatizada— con las experiencias y desafíos del personal de la NPC en las regiones de Mindoro y Tablas, donde la privatización ya se había llevado a cabo. Los resultados revelaron que las partes interesadas de Romblon percibían la privatización de manera positiva en cuanto a la rendición de cuentas (media ponderada de 3,72) y su potencial para atraer inversiones destinadas a la modernización (media ponderada de 3,87); sin embargo, expresaron incertidumbre respecto a la transparencia de cara al consumidor y a la seguridad laboral. Los datos cualitativos provenientes de las zonas privatizadas pusieron de relieve desafíos significativos en materia de cumplimiento normativo, transición de la fuerza laboral y sostenibilidad financiera. El estudio concluye que una transición exitosa requiere un enfoque adaptado al contexto, fundamentado en una participación sólida de las partes interesadas, la armonización normativa y mecanismos robustos de protección social. El plan resultante ofrece recomendaciones basadas en evidencia para los responsables de formular políticas que consideren la privatización o modelos de Asociación Público-Privada (APP) para la NPC en provincias insulares.
