Power and energy systems technology group Wärtsilä has completed work on two large-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in the Philippines. Comprising a 20MW / 20MWh system at a renewable power hub in Toledo and a 40MW / 40MWh at what is thought to be a combined cycle gas turbine power plant in Bataan, commissioning on each was achieved during May, Wärtsilä said in a press release sent to Energy-Storage.news today. Its customer is Universal Power Solutions, a subsidiary of vertically-integrated Filippino power company SMC Global Power. Wärtsilä had revealed last year that it received a 100MW / 100MWh order from a customer in Southeast Asia, but at that time did not disclose the customer’s name or the country where it is located, but said today that this referred to Universal Power Solutions and further projects are expected to be commissioned through that deal soon.
