4 FAQs about Manila Professional Communications BESS Power Station

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.

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.

What is the outlook for Bess in the Philippines?

While the outlook for BESS in the Philippines is bright, challenges remain. The DOE acknowledges the high upfront costs of battery storage systems. A lack of standardization and concerns about the environmental impact of certain battery technologies, particularly lithium-ion, also pose challenges.

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.
