The Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA) is the country’s foremost advocate for solar and energy storage solutions.
As a non-profit alliance of industry leaders, we work closely with government and private stakeholders to shape progressive energy policies and accelerate the shift to clean, reliable power.
PSSEA serves as a unifying platform for collaboration, advocacy, and innovation across the solar and storage value chain.
HAPPENING NOW: PSSEA Chairperson Maria Theresa “Tetchi” Capellan opened the event by highlighting the growing role of floating solar in the Philippines and its potential to complement, rather than compete with, food production through aquaculture.
She also marked two important milestones for the industry: the development of the 250-MW floating solar project in Ilagan and the planned 1-GW floaters manufacturing facility, strengthening the Philippines’ potential role in the global floating solar industry.
As Tetchi shared: “The next terawatt will no longer be ground-mounted; it will be solar on roof and solar on water.”
A strong reminder that the next phase of solar deployment will require innovation, investment, and new ways of using our land and water resources.

Financing Distributed Solar and Storage: From Capital to Scale ⚡☀️🔋
How can ASEAN move from growing distributed solar and storage markets to bankable, scalable investments?
On 6 October 2026, the ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF) session “Financing Distributed Solar and Storage: Innovative Pathways to Achieve Scale in ASEAN” brought together industry leaders, financiers, investors, development partners, and policymakers to explore practical financing pathways for distributed energy.
PSSEA President Ping Mendoza delivered the welcome remarks, highlighting the importance of collaboration and investment in accelerating distributed solar and storage across the region.
The session featured:
• Shantanu Jaiswal, BloombergNEF – rooftop solar growth, grid pressures, and storage
• Luisa Rust, Austrade – clean energy investment opportunities
• Jouy Araja, BPI – innovative solar lending
• Atty. Jason C. Teng, GSIS – the Ginhawa Solar Energy Loan Program
• Puon Penn, Hyfin – aggregating distributed projects for institutional finance
• Jigar Arvindbhai Bhatt, ADB – technical assistance and concessional finance
• Carlos Munoz, SunFund – customer financing and EPC partnerships
• Jeric James Pernitez, ATRAM Trust, and Bui Thi Nham, XSolar Energy – finance and distributed solar perspectives
• John Rockhold, Vietnam Power Energy Working Group, and Marlistya Citraningrum, IESR – rooftop solar, regulation, and market development
PSSEA General Manager Mayet Pantastico closed the session, emphasizing that scaling distributed energy requires more than capital. Enabling policies, strong partnerships, market confidence, and coordination across the energy ecosystem are equally important.
The key message: financing the energy transition means building the policies, markets, partnerships, and systems that make distributed solar and storage scalable and investable.

FROM INSIGHTS TO ACTION: FINANCING THE ENERGY TRANSITION ⚡☀️🔋
As the ASEAN Energy Business Forum session “Financing Distributed Solar and Storage: Innovative Pathways to Achieve Scale in ASEAN” concluded, PSSEA General Manager Mayet Pantastico highlighted three priorities: mobilize capital, build bankable markets, and scale distributed solar and storage.
The discussion underscored that finance alone is not enough. Scaling will require stronger market infrastructure, better data, risk management, and collaboration among governments, regulators, financial institutions, investors, development partners, and industry.
As Mayet highlighted: “The challenge now is to turn these insights into action: mobilize capital, build bankable markets, and scale distributed solar and storage across ASEAN.”
The conversation continues as PSSEA joins partners and stakeholders at the Philippine Floating Solar Innovation Series & Commitment Ceremony this evening at Conrad Manila.
Together, we can build financing pathways for a more secure, affordable, and sustainable energy future for ASEAN.

FROM CRISIS TO COLLECTIVE ACTION ⚡☀️🔋
“Is that the next trend that we shall see in distributed energy assets such as solar and storage?”
In his opening remarks at the ASEAN Energy Business Forum 2026, PSSEA President Jose Rafael “Ping” Mendoza highlighted how crises can accelerate change from the rapid adoption of digital technologies during the pandemic to the growing potential for distributed energy solutions.
He also called on participants to go beyond the conversation in the room: learn, speak up, and amplify the discussion across their networks, businesses, communities, and online platforms.
The energy transition will require collaboration across ASEAN, with countries sharing their strengths, addressing gaps, and working together to develop solutions that respond to the energy challenges facing our communities.
As Ping emphasized, the goal is not simply to participate in a prestigious event but to “do good for the people who aren`t even able to join us through that door.”
For PSSEA, the conversation is an opportunity to strengthen regional collaboration and advance a more secure, affordable, and sustainable energy future for ASEAN.

Why does the energy transition need a grid that can keep up?
On 5 October 2026 in Manila, the ASEAN Energy Business Forum session “The Future Grid: The Role of Distributed Solar and Storage” brought together policymakers, regulators, researchers, grid experts, and industry leaders to discuss distributed energy resources, battery storage, and smarter grid solutions for a more resilient, renewable-ready power system.
PSSEA Chairperson Maria Theresa “Tetchi” Capellan opened with a critical message: “Across ASEAN countries, the bottlenecks already moved. It is no longer the panel. It is the wire.”
The session featured diverse perspectives:
🔹 Francis Saturnino “Nino” Juan, ERC Chairperson and CEO, outlined priorities including grid readiness, flexible markets, stronger WESM signals, consumer participation, and regulatory certainty.
🔹 Hanh Phan, BloombergNEF, shared insights on solar and battery storage deployment and regional investment trends.
🔹 Modini Yantrapati, AFRY Singapore, shared international perspectives on distributed energy resources and grid resilience.
🔹 Raditya Yudha Wiranegara, IESR, shared lessons from distributed solar and storage initiatives in Bali and the practical steps needed for implementation.
Closing the session, PSSEA General Manager Mayet Pantastico emphasized that technology alone will not be enough. The transition also requires the right regulatory frameworks, market structures, investment signals, and stakeholder coordination, while ensuring that greater resilience and access benefit consumers and communities.
The key message: the future of renewable energy will depend not only on how much clean energy we build, but on how effectively we connect, manage, and deliver it.
