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.
PSSEA JOINS DISCUSSION ON ADVANCING RESPONSIBLE RENEWABLE ENERGY DEVELOPMENT
The Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA) participated in the Responsible Energy Initiative–Philippines (REI-PH) event, Policy Meets Practice: Putting the Responsible Energy Portfolio to Work, on November 4, 2026.
The discussions explored practical approaches to addressing barriers in renewable energy development, including responsible project planning, community participation, circularity, and access to financing.
For PSSEA, the exchange highlighted opportunities to contribute industry perspectives on solar PV and battery storage circularity, community engagement, financing mechanisms, and improved project planning.
PSSEA remains committed to working with stakeholders to advance practical policies and solutions for a faster, fairer, and more sustainable energy transition.

POWERING THE ISLANDS | ADVANCING REGIONAL COOPERATION FOR CLEANER ENERGY
Spearheaded by the Asian Photovoltaic Industry Association (APVIA) and launched at the Philippine Pavilion during COP31 on November 10, the initiative brought together government and industry leaders to advance solar and battery storage solutions for island and remote communities.
In her remarks, Philippine Department of Energy Undersecretary Felix William Fuentebella reaffirmed the government’s commitment to reducing reliance on diesel-run generators and lowering generation costs through the integration of island electrification projects into the upcoming Green Energy Auction.
Maria Theresa “Tetchi” Capellan, Chairperson of APVIA and the Philippine Solar and Storage Energy Alliance (PSSEA), called for stronger regional cooperation to help islands across Asia reduce diesel dependence and harness solar energy as a cost-effective power source.
She emphasized the role of battery storage in extending access to clean energy beyond daylight hours, noting: “Paired with battery, solar can extend delivery of clean energy even after sunset.”
Through regional collaboration and practical solutions, we can help build a more reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy future for island communities.

COP31 OPENS IN TÜRKİYE: THE CALL TO TURN CLIMATE COMMITMENTS INTO ACTION
The 31st UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) officially opens today in Antalya, Türkiye, bringing together world leaders, policymakers, scientists, and civil society to push for stronger climate action.
Under the theme “COP of the Future – COP of Implementation,” this year`s summit puts the spotlight on translating climate commitments into measurable results. Key priorities include accelerating the clean energy transition and electrification, strengthening climate resilience, and mobilizing financing for vulnerable countries.
For the Philippines, advancing renewable energy and battery storage is an important part of this conversation. Scaling up these solutions can strengthen energy security, improve affordability, and support the transition toward a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.
As the global community gathers at COP31, the challenge is clear: move beyond commitments and deliver solutions that benefit people and communities.
PSSEA looks forward to contributing to these conversations, particularly on the role of solar and battery storage in powering island and remote communities.

SOLAR + BATTERY STORAGE: BREAKING THE CYCLE OF HIGH ELECTRICITY PRICES IN THE ISLANDS
For many Philippine island communities, diesel dependence means costly electricity and continued exposure to volatile fuel prices. Solar power paired with battery energy storage offers a cleaner, more affordable, and more resilient alternative.
By generating electricity from the sun and storing excess power for use beyond daylight hours, solar-plus-battery systems can reduce diesel consumption, lower generation costs, and help ease the long-term burden of electricity subsidies.
The benefits are already being demonstrated. On Cobrador Island, a 30-kW solar-plus-battery system extended electricity service from 8 to 24 hours daily and halved the tariff from ₱30/kWh to ₱15/kWh.
As the Philippines advances its energy transition, we must ensure that island communities are not left behind. Supporting solar and battery storage deployment means investing in energy security, affordability, and sustainability.
See you at COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, on November 10, at the Philippine Pavilion.
