How is Bess transforming the Philippine energy industry?
With the commercial operations of approximately 1,000 MW of BESS facilities across 32 locations in the Philippines, we are now ushering in a new era for the Philippine energy industry through significant improvements in grid reliability and the integration of more renewable power sources to the country’s diverse energy mix.
What is Bess technology?
BESS technology, which enables the storage of energy both from renewable and non- renewable sources, was actually pioneered in the Philippines as far back as by what is now SMC’s Masinloc power facility. That pioneering BESS project introduced the use of advanced lithium-ion battery technologies in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.
What is Aboitiz Power's Bess project?
Aboitiz Power commits P1.2B to a pioneering hybrid BESS project in the Philippines. This model, integrating battery storage into thermal plants, is a blueprint for climate-resilient energy and grid stability in Asia.
How will the new Bess projects impact the Philippines?
“We are very excited to start construction of the new BESS projects in the Philippines. With the new batteries we will more than triple our storage capacity to 80 MW, increasing the value of our hydro power plants and strengthening our position as a leading provider of ancillary services in the country.
What is the outlook for Bess in the Philippines?
While the outlook for BESS in the Philippines is bright, challenges remain. The DOE acknowledges the high upfront costs of battery storage systems. A lack of standardization and concerns about the environmental impact of certain battery technologies, particularly lithium-ion, also pose challenges.
How many Bess facilities are there in the Philippines?
We are operating BESS facilities at 32 locations in the Philippines, across the regions of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Overall, we are putting up approximately 1,000 MW of BESS facilities, which will help ensure the reliability of the grid, especially in areas that are in most need of power quality solutions.
