PSSEA President Calls for Battery Storage to Strengthen Visayas Grid Reliability ⚡🔋
“Battery storage should be part of the solution to the Visayas’ power challenges.”
PSSEA President Jose Rafael “Ping” Mendoza emphasized the importance of combining competitive procurement, forward contracting, and appropriately located battery energy storage systems (BESS) to strengthen reserve availability and improve grid reliability.
Strategically deployed battery storage can help the grid respond to outages, make better use of renewable energy, and create better conditions for investment in a more reliable power system.
PSSEA is calling for market reforms and targeted investments that address the underlying supply and flexibility constraints in the Visayas, supporting a power system that is more secure, reliable, and affordable for consumers.

PSSEA Calls for Battery Storage Solutions to Address Visayas Power Challenges ⚡🔋
“The solution to high electricity costs affecting Visayas is to address the underlying supply and flexibility constraints in the region.”
PSSEA Chairperson Maria Theresa “Tetchi” Capellan emphasized the role of battery energy storage systems (BESS) in responding to outages, providing grid flexibility, and supporting greater integration of renewable energy.
PSSEA is calling for the immediate resumption of commercial dispatch and settlement in the reserve market, alongside competitive forward contracting of battery storage to strengthen reserve availability and address the Visayas’ power challenges.
Rather than relying on market suspension, PSSEA advocates solutions that enable timely investment in technologies that deliver value to the grid and consumers.

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.

PSSEA in the Spotlight | Building a Stronger Solar and Storage Industry ☀️🔋
What does it take to build a stronger solar and energy storage industry in the Philippines? For PSSEA, it starts with community education, industry-led policy advocacy, and partnerships that turn shared goals into meaningful impact.
In this conversation with John Grimes, Mayet Pantastico, PSSEA General Manager and Executive Secretary, shared her vision for a Philippine energy future that creates more local jobs, supports a healthier environment, and reduces dependence on fossil fuels. She also highlighted PSSEA’s work in raising awareness of solar energy’s benefits and bringing the industry’s voice to government and communities.
This commitment to industry development and responsible market growth aligns with PSSEA’s recent recognition by the DTI–Bureau of Philippine Standards, which presented the Alliance with the 4109 Award for Industry Partner for Advocacy. The award recognizes PSSEA’s efforts to promote standards awareness, empower consumers, and support compliance with standards for regulated products in the market.
Our thanks to John Grimes for the conversation and for recognizing the importance of building the capacity and leadership of industry associations in accelerating the energy transition.
Together, through stronger partnerships, informed communities, and credible industry practices, we can advance a more secure, affordable, and sustainable energy future for the Philippines.

HAPPENING NOW: At the Technical Forum on Solar Photovoltaic (PV) and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on October 15, 2026, in Makati City, PSSEA President Ping Mendoza highlighted the complementary roles of utility-scale and behind-the-meter solar in advancing the Philippines’ energy transition.
While utility-scale projects attract significant investments, behind-the-meter solar offers opportunities to accelerate local impact from creating jobs in the provinces to addressing challenges in distribution grids beyond Meralco and privately operated distribution utilities.
Expanding both utility-scale and distributed solar can help strengthen energy security, broaden economic opportunities, and support a more affordable and sustainable energy future for the Philippines.
