The project is part of a multiple energy storage contract with SMC Global Power Holdings Inc. through its subsidiary, Universal Power Solutions Inc., in the Philippines during 2019-2020. The first two projects, Integrated Renewable Power Hub-Toledo and BCCPP, Limay, Bataan, have achieved final commissioning in May. The projects have a capacity of 20 MW / 20 MWh and 40 MW / 40MWh respectively, and are part of the earlier announced energy storage orders.
The projects are delivered on an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis, and include Wärtsilä’s proprietary software and hardware solutions. The systems comprise the company’s GridSolv Max system, a standardised energy storage solution that provides flexible and modular storage for the core hardware assets of the systems, including the batteries, a safety and fire system, and inverters, alongside the advanced GEMS Digital Energy Platform. This also further demonstrates Wärtsilä’s EPC capabilities in the region. These projects showcase long-term commitment to be present in the Philippines and to continue delivering optimised solutions that support the energy transition in Southeast Asia.
