AboitizPower to construct 30-MW BESS project in Mactan
The East Asia Utilities Corporation (EAUC) facility at the Mactan Economic Zone in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. This site is set to host a hybrid Battery Energy Storage System
With the latest deal, the Philippines has procured cumulative 6 GWh of battery energy storage systems (BESS) within days. China's Huawei has bagged its biggest BESS order to date and will supply the Meralco Terra Solar Project in the Philippines, which is considered the largest integrated solar and battery storage facility in the world.
Aboitiz Power Corp., through subsidiary East Asia Utilities Corp. (EAUC), has begun construction of a 30-megawatt hybrid Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) inside the Mactan Economic Zone in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. The project broke ground on Thursday, July 17, and is scheduled for commissioning by the first half of 2026.
Under the deal announced last week, Huawei will provide its containerized BESS and essential auxiliary components such as fire suppression systems; heating, ventilation, and air conditioning; battery management systems; power conversion systems; and energy management systems.
Huawei has already developed gigawatt-scale BESS projects with one of its fragship developments a 400 MW/1.3 GWh solar-plus-storage off-grid facility in Red Sea New City, Saudi Arabia, unveiled in September. That project is presently the world's largest operating microgrid, delivering more than 1 TWh of green electricity annually.
