We are operating BESS facilities at 32 locations in the Philippines, across the regions of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. Overall, we are putting up approximately 1,000 MW of BESS facilities, which will help ensure the reliability of the grid, especially in areas that are in most need of power quality solutions.
Larger facilities with higher energy demands will require more extensive and costly systems. Battery energy storage systems using lithium-ion technology have an average price of US$393 per kWh to US$581 per kWh. While production costs of lithium-ion batteries are decreasing, the upfront capital costs can be substantial for commercial applications.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
