Is battery energy storage system the key to a more energy-secure Philippines?
MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. on Friday said the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) would become a crucial part of the government formula toward a more energy-secure Philippines. During the inauguration of the San Miguel Corporation’s (SMC) BESS in Limay, Bataan, Marcos said the
Why is the Philippines betting on battery energy storage systems?
The Philippines is betting on battery energy storage systems (BESS) to achieve its ambitious renewable energy (RE) targets and build a more sustainable energy future.
Is the Philippines integrating energy storage into its energy mix?
She highlighted the country’s existing large-scale pumped hydro facility and a target of 1.1 GW for IRESS deployment through the Green Energy Auction Program, showcasing the Philippines’ dedication to integrating energy storage into its energy mix.
How can base load power plants benefit Filipino consumers?
Ang explained that with a significant portion of peak supply provided by BESS, existing base load power plants can run continuously and operate more efficiently, resorting to lower electricity rates for Filipino consumers.
Is technology a solution to the Philippines' most pressing energy problem?
Ang said the solution that the country needs to help address its most pressing energy concern is already at its doorstep, noting technology represents a major step towards meeting the Philippine socio-economic goal sustainably. Legislation, more investments eyed to support BESS
What is a Bess & how will it benefit the Philippines?
Marcos said the BESS also holds great potential, not just in terms of generating sufficient, reliable and clean energy that will increase energy affordability, but also in terms of providing "green jobs". The BESS is the first of its kind in the Philippines and one of the largest integrated grid-scale battery energy storage projects in the world.
