Subject of the Disclosure
SNAP secures funding for battery energy storage projects
Background/Description of the Disclosure
SN Aboitiz Power Group (SNAP) has secured financing for the expansion of its Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) from the Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), China Banking Corporation (Chinabank), and Banco de Oro Unibank, Inc. (BDO). The BESS projects will be co-located with the Magat hydroelectric power plant in Isabela and the Binga hydroelectric plant in Benguet.
At a ceremonial signing held on February 17, 2025, BPI and Chinabank are set to finance the 16-megawatt (MW) Magat BESS Phase 2, while BPI and BDO will provide financing for the 40-MW Binga BESS.
“We are proud to reach these milestones in the development of our energy portfolio,” said Joseph Yu, SNAP President and Chief Executive Officer. “SNAP is scaling up its BESS initiatives with Magat BESS Phase 2 and the first BESS in Benguet. BESS will provide much-needed storage capacity to support the integration of renewable energy and improve grid reliability. This also aligns with the Philippines' efforts to meet the country’s renewable energy targets. These projects highlight SNAP's commitment to providing innovative and sustainable energy solutions.”
SNAP’s upcoming BESS projects are expected to be completed by 2026. The engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contracts for both Magat BESS Phase 2 and Binga BESS have been awarded to GEDI China Energy, a subsidiary of China Energy Engineering Group.
A BESS is a type of energy storage system that uses a set of batteries to store electrical energy from the grid and releases it when needed to augment supply or improve power quality. It helps stabilize the grid by managing fluctuations in renewable energy generation, ensuring a more reliable and efficient electricity system.
SNAP’s first energy storage project, the 24-MW Magat BESS, began commercial operation in the reserve market for ancillary services in January 2024.
