BESS solar container battery in the Philippines

Can battery energy storage systems be deployed in the Philippines?

In the Philippines, battery energy storage systems are still in their nascent stages. While policies like the inclusion of Integrated Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Systems (IRESS) in national auction programs have been put in place, actual deployment faces significant hurdles.

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 & how does it work in the Philippines?

For commercial and industrial companies in the Philippines, BESS provides an opportunity to take control of their energy usage. These systems consist of high-capacity lithium-ion batteries and sophisticated energy management software.

What is a Bess system?

A BESS is a system which stores the electricity from power plants or the grid for various applications such as grid stability, energy efficiency, and renewable energy integration. This is especially important to renewable energy facilities such as solar power plants as it fills in solar's intermittency and variability limitations.
