Large-scale renewable energy power plant developers in the Philippines have been instructed to integrate energy storage into their proposed facilities.
A framework for the “development, utilisation and commercialisation of energy storage systems” in the Philippines has been passed by the House of Representatives.
The Philippines needs to establish clearly defined rules for the market participation of energy storage systems (ESS), the chair of the country’s regulator has said.
President of the Philippines, Ferdinand Marcos Jr., was in attendance as the country’s first ‘baseload’ power plant to combine solar PV and battery storage officially went into action.
