7. Re-examine ownership rules for renewable energy projects. The Philippines has currently set regulatory requirements on foreign ownership of renewable energy projects, by which foreign companies wishing to invest in the Philippines are subject to a foreign ownership cap (40% to 60%). While exemptions exist for technologies such as hydropower
In accordance with the law, the Department of Energy (DOE) led the formulation of this National Renewable Energy Program (NREP), in consultation with its stakeholders. RE has long been a major contributor to the country''s primary energy supply mix. In 2010, the country''s total primary energy supply reached 40.7 million tons of oil equivalent
As of 2021, the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) installed capacity in the Philippines is only 10 MW and is connected to the Luzon Grid (Department of Energy (DOE), 2021).
The study assesses the Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) market in Southeast Asia, highlighting its early stage and lack of policies, proposing a BESS market attractiveness index for five key countries, and emphasizing the need for targeted policies, renewable energy development, and collaborative efforts to advance the BESS market, providing crucial insights

To address both energy and climate change challenges, the Philippine Department of Energy has indicated in its Power Development Plan (2017–2040) that there is a need to encourage and facilitate new and emerging power generation options such as nuclear technology, energy storage, fuel cells, and ocean thermal energy conversion in the medium to
Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr cuts the ribbon to inaugurate the Limay BESS in Luzon in June. Image: ABB. The Philippines has turned its focus onto transitioning its energy sector to larger shares of renewable energy. Carlos Nieto of ABB writes about how the company delivered a 60MW battery storage project in alignment with that aim.
In line with the integration of RE, the Philippines has also considered integrating Energy Storage Systems (ESS) across the country (National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP), 2022). ESS is important in energy curtailment to balance supply and demand due to the intermittent nature of RE (Dodds and Garvey, 2022).
As of 2021, the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) installed capacity in the Philippines is only 10 MW and is connected to the Luzon Grid (Department of Energy (DOE), 2021). Furthermore, both government entities and the private sector are actively investing in energy storage projects.
The energy sector in the Philippines is confronted with significant challenges, including escalating power demand due to population growth, rapid economic expansion, and a strong emphasis on digitalization.
The energy transition in the Philippines is key to achieving global sustainable development by addressing the energy trilemma of security, equity, and environmental impact. The current electricity supply mix in the Philippines is dominated by fossil fuels, which poses challenges to the climate and atmosphere.
Gonocruz et al. (2023) explored the feasibility of introducing agrivoltaics to the energy landscape of the Philippines in pursuing rural electrification and carbon reduction of the power grid. Yoo and Ha (2024) conducted an analysis of the market attractiveness of BESS in the Philippines to facilitate higher PV and wind energy share.
ESS is important in energy curtailment to balance supply and demand due to the intermittent nature of RE (Dodds and Garvey, 2022). As of 2021, the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) installed capacity in the Philippines is only 10 MW and is connected to the Luzon Grid (Department of Energy (DOE), 2021).
