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.
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.

PSSEA in the Media | Making the Most of Rooftop Solar
In a recent CNA Insider feature, PSSEA President Jose Rafael “Ping” Mendoza highlighted an important consideration for households investing in rooftop solar: savings can depend on when electricity is actually used. Households that are away during the day may not fully benefit from the solar power their systems generate, particularly without battery storage.
The experience highlights why understanding household energy needs, consumption patterns, and future requirements is important when planning a solar system. PSSEA continues to support consumer awareness and policies that make rooftop solar more practical, accessible, and beneficial for Filipino households.
