PSSEA in the Media | ERC Urged to Resume Reserve Market ⚡🔋
The Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA) is calling for the immediate resumption of commercial dispatch and settlement in the reserve market, alongside targeted procurement of battery energy storage systems (BESS) to address power supply and flexibility challenges in the Visayas.
In its position paper submitted to the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), PSSEA emphasized that suspending the reserve market does not resolve underlying supply constraints. Competitive forward contracting and strategically located battery storage can help strengthen reserve availability, respond to outages, and support greater integration of renewable energy.
PSSEA advocates a coordinated approach that combines market reforms with timely investments in energy storage to improve grid reliability and help protect consumers from high electricity costs.

PSSEA Calls for Immediate Resumption of Reserve Market and Battery Storage Procurement to Address Visayas Outages ⚡🔋
The Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA) is calling for the immediate resumption of commercial dispatch and settlement in the reserve market across the Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao grids, alongside targeted battery energy storage system (BESS) procurement to address the Visayas’ power challenges.
In its position paper submitted to the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), PSSEA emphasized that suspending the reserve market does not resolve underlying supply constraints. Instead, the Alliance is urging competitive forward contracting of battery storage to strengthen reserve availability, respond rapidly to outages, and support greater integration of renewable energy.
PSSEA Chairperson Maria Theresa “Tetchi” Capellan stressed that addressing the Visayas’ electricity challenges requires solutions that tackle the underlying supply and flexibility constraints. PSSEA President Ping Mendoza likewise underscored the importance of combining competitive procurement, forward contracting, and strategically located battery storage to strengthen grid reliability and make better use of renewable energy.
The message is clear: market reforms and new investments must work together. A competitive and transparent reserve market, supported by appropriately procured battery storage, can help strengthen energy security, improve system reliability, and support more affordable electricity for consumers.
