AboitizPower launches 49 MW hybrid BESS project

This is the first battery project in Southeast Asia that was built on a floating platform.

Aboitiz Power Corporation, through its subsidiary Therma Marine, inaugurated a 49-megawatt (MW) hybrid battery energy storage system built on a floating platform, the first of its kind in Southeast Asia.

In a statement, AboitizPower said the project, located in Maco, Davao de Oro, will complement Therma Marine’s existing diesel engines through ancillary services that will help in providing uninterrupted electricity.

“The power barge that TMI currently operates has been in Maco, Davao de Oro since 1994. It was installed as part of the solution to address the then power crisis in Mindanao,” AboitizPower Thermal Chief Operating Officer Ronaldo Ramos said.

“Thirty years later, who would’ve thought that we’d still find ourselves in the same mission of supporting our beloved Mindanao, this time with an innovative twist and a different need to address – the reserve requirements of the grid,” he added.

Ramos also said that the project is important due to the increasing power demand in the country and the launch of the Mindanao-Visayas interconnection project.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
