Aboitiz hydro unit eyes expansion of battery storage facilities

MANILA -The hydropower unit of Aboitiz Power Corp. is eyeing the development of three more battery storage facilities next year as it moves to increase its renewable energy capacity while ensuring that it can provide enough power to meet high demand.
 
SN Aboitiz Power (SNAP) president and chief executive Joseph Yu told reporters on Monday that the battery energy storage system (BESS) facilities would have a combined capacity of 100 megawatts (MW) and would be located in the provinces of Isabela and Benguet.
