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.

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.

What is a Bess energy storage system?

The DOE formalized its commitment to BESS by issuing Department Circular No. 2023-04-0008 in 2023, establishing the energy storage system policy for the electric power industry. The circular defines BESS as systems capable of storing electricity electronically, enabling both charging and discharging. Investor confidence

How many Bess projects are there in the Philippines?

DOE data reveals 1,850 MW of committed BESS projects by 2030 and 1,951 MW of indicative projects by 2033, as of November 2024. The agency projects 330 MW of BESS capacity coming online this year alone. “We have seen that battery electricity storage is a crucial technology for the Philippines,” the DOE said.

Why should you choose a Bess facility?

The smart and efficient services of BESS facilities allow for a more robust integration of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy to the grid. Our battery energy storage business is one of the ways we show our commitment to sustainable energy, as our BESS facilities also operate with zero emissions.

What is the Bess network and how can it help?

Equally significant, according to Ang, is how the BESS network can enable the integration of capacity from small-to-medium scale renewable energy sources into the grid, and help encourage more investments in renewables in the future.
