What is the best energy storage technology in the Philippines?

At this time, lithium-ion batteries are the primary advanced energy storage technology in use, though lead acid batteries -- mostly imported from China -- have been used in off-grid storage applications for at least a decade. Frequency regulation is in its early stages in the Philippines.

Are there opportunities in the Philippines for US energy storage systems?

There are opportunities in The Philippines for U.S. suppliers of energy storage systems. The Philippine Government continues to state its goal to be energy self sufficient as mounting energy challenges loom. The Department of Energy (DOE) is looking into utilizing renewable energy, and modernizing and deploying an efficient grid system.

What are the potential applications for energy storage in the Philippines?

Several potential applications for energy storage stand out in the Philippines, particularly in grid-side storage, island storage, and behind-the-meter applications.

Is energy storage the future of the Philippines?

Although widespread deployment of energy storage in the Philippines is yet to come, there are some significant drivers, both on and off-grid, that are already attracting energy storage players to this emerging market. As a tropical archipelago with few fossil fuel resources, the Philippines faces unique energy challenges.

Why are energy storage systems so expensive in the Philippines?

Due to the fact that the Philippines are prone to natural disasters such as flooding and typhoons, energy storage systems must be built to withstand extreme weather. This may increase the upfront cost of energy storage systems.

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.
