Ang said the company was putting up battery energy storage systems with a total capacity of 1,000 megawatts that could “capture the up and down swing of power plants.”“We now have 500 MW, and I hope to reach 1,000 MW. We can sell that to factories, steel mills,” he said.
The SMC BESS projects are designed to minimize wastage by storing and redistributing excess capacity to ensure even underserved regions can have the same sufficient, reliable electricity enjoyed by larger cities.“Batteries will stabilize the system. That will stabilize the grid’s voltage, frequency, peaking requirement,” he said.“With the integration of this technology into our electrical grid, we are confident we can improve power quality and address the intermittent nature of renewables.
“With this, provinces and regions will have equal access to power and, therefore, an equal chance to attract investors,” Ang said. “Bringing electricity to power-challenged regions will help uplift the lives of more Filipinos, who will finally have access not just to basic electricity, but also opportunities and jobs brought about by electrification,” he said.“Currently, the main challenge of renewables is intermittence, or the unreliable nature of renewable sources such as wind, solar and hydropower.
