CEBU, Philippines — Cebu's energy sector received a significant push following the launch of Aboitiz Power's P1. 2 billion, 30-megawatt hybrid Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at the Mactan Economic Zone, developed in partnership with East Asia Utilities Corporation.
Cebu, which accounts for half of Visayas' energy use, faces growing power demands. The expansion is crucial for meeting these needs, ensuring stable electricity supply for the region's expanding economy. Cebu's expanding economy mirrors the nation's growing energy needs, with both requiring reliable power supply to sustain growth.
DOE Central Visayas Director Renante Sevilla lauded the BESS project in Mactan, saying that Cebu needs additional power investments given its rapid progress. / KOC
As demand rises from key sectors such as IT-BPM, manufacturing, and tourism, energy security is becoming increasingly crucial. Cebu, heavily dependent on power imports from islands like Leyte and Panay, also receives some electricity from Luzon. Approximately 60% of Cebu's energy comes from plants outside the city.
With Lapu-Lapu City now assured of reliable power, he noted that energy supply from the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) could be redirected to underserved areas in Cebu. Cebu Governor Pamela Baricuatro, also present at the launch, lauded the project for aligning with the province's climate and development agenda.
Considered one of the first large-scale energy storage systems in Central Visayas, the hybrid BESS will provide ancillary services by storing surplus electricity and releasing it to the grid when needed to help stabilize power supply.
According to the Department of Energy, the share of variable renewable energy like solar and wind could rise to as much as 28 percent by 2031. In this context, energy storage systems like BESS will be essential for managing fluctuations and ensuring reliable delivery of power.

The truth is, energy storage system current ratings aren't one-size-fits-all, but let's unravel this mystery with real-world examples and maybe a dash of nerd humor. Take Tesla's Megapack—it's like the espresso shot of ESS, delivering up to 1500A continuous current.
According to the statement, the project, owned by the special purpose company (SPC) Ojiya BESS LLC, will use CATL battery systems and is expected to be commissioned in 2029. It will operate under a 20-year tolling agreement with Tokyo Gas.
Project Summary: The project involves the development of a 36-megawatt (MW) solar power project and 40 megawatt hours (MWh) of battery energy storage solutions across various selected islands in the Maldives.
Before this, the largest connectivity project in the Maldives was the 1.4 km Chinese-funded bridge connecting Male to the Maldives airport in Hulhule island, and to the Hulumalhe island. Discussions on the GMCP were initiated during the visit of External Affairs Minister S Jaisankar to Male in September 2019.
These are calculated based on 2011 data for all the countries except for obtaining the SIDS average where 2009 figures are used. The main primary energy supply in Maldives is still dependent on imported fossil fuel (99.9%). Bulk of this imported fuel is diesel and the main energy used for production of electricity and transport.
The largest infrastructure project in Maldives will involve the construction of a 6.74 km long bridge and causeway link connecting Male to Villingli, Gulhaifalhu and Thilafushi. In a boost to ties, India and Maldives signed a contract on the mega Greater Male Connectivity Project (GMCP), the largest infrastructure project in the country.
Under the Accelerating Renewable Energy Integration and Sustainable Energy (ARISE) project, supported by the World Bank, Maldives is seeking contractors for installation of 40 MWh capacity Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), across 18 electricity grids representing 19 islands/cities.
Inefficient lighting and household appliances are additional factors for the low levels of energy efficiency in Maldives' buildings.
While ASPIRE project addresses the need to increase PV generation in Maldives through private sector investment, Maldives envisions an ambitious goal of “carbon neutrality by 2030” along with an immediate target for 2023 to increase the share of renewable energy by 20% compared to 2018 levels.

The project, which is also Palau's first grid-scale solar PV plant, will contribute significantly to the country's nationally self-determined contribution to meeting global climate targets as agreed in the Paris Accord. These include reaching 35% renewable energy, and reducing energy sector emissions to 22% below 2005 levels, by 2025.
With 100 MW of power generation and distribution capacity, the Armonia microgrid will enable Palau to meet its 45%-by-2025 renewable energy goal five years ahead of schedule, as well as offer electricity at the lowest rates in Palau's history, according to the project partners.
“With a project in a location as unique as the Republic of Palau, the jurisdiction itself is challenging as the project engineering codes and local requirements are very specific,” DNV energy systems project manager Michael Niu said.
“In the midst of the global energy transition, it is imperative that we address climate mitigation and climate adaption – at the same time,” Palau President Tommy Remengesau stated. As we reduce our carbon footprint, so too should we reduce the vulnerabilities of our energy infrastructure in the face of rising seas and natural disasters.
According to its developer Solar Pacific Energy Corporation (SPEC), a subsidiary of Philippines-headquartered renewable energy company Altenergy, the hybrid system will be able to meet around 25% of the small country's energy demand.
