Therma Marine Inc., a subsidiary of Aboitiz Power Corp. starts the commercial operations of a 49-megawatt battery energy storage system in Maco, Davao de Oro. The facility, which the company sees as a model for future battery investments and hybrid renewable energy projects, is the first of its kind in Southeast Asia to be built on a floating platform.
BESS is a type of energy storage that uses batteries to store electrical energy when there is a supply surplus in the grid and releases energy when customers need power the most.The Maco BESS will complement TMI’s diesel engines by providing ancillary services to sustain the transmission capacity and energy essential in maintaining the Mindanao grid’s power quality, reliability and security.
Aboitiz Power is also implementing another BESS project under SN Aboitiz Power Group—the 24-MW Magat BESS project at the SNAP Magat hydroelectric power plant in Ramon, Isabela.
