Manila Energy Storage Cabinet Equipment Manufacturing Plant

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.

We started our venture into battery energy storage technology in 2018 when we acquired the 10 MW Masinloc Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) of the Masinloc Power Plant from AES Philippines. The Masinloc BESS is the first battery energy storage facility in the Philippines and one of the first in Southeast Asia.

A significant amount of the Philippines' primary energy supply is still fossil fuel-based, making the country vulnerable to rising energy costs and market volatility while the energy production is at the same time CO2 intensive.

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.

The project uses the ABB eStorage OS Energy Management System to act as the intuitive interface to the BESS, allowing users to make real-time decisions based on grid parameters to ensure performance stability.
