Flexible, fast-responding resources like large-scale battery storage systems are critical for ensuring the stability of regional electricity grids across the Philippines.
Energy storage systems are expected to play a critical role in the Philippines, offering these benefits: Supporting growing energy demand: By 2045, the Philippine population is estimated to reach 142 million, corresponding to an annual growth rate of 1.21 percent—more than double the average growth rate in Asia.

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.
Fluence will continue deploying additional energy storage systems for SMCGPH’s portfolio of projects across the Philippines through July of 2022, with additional systems targeted for commissioning and testing within early 2022.
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.
