EcoSolar Energy Corporation has successfully energized its 22.5 MW Panitan Energy Storage Project in Capiz, Philippines, marking an important milestone in strengthening the region’s electricity infrastructure. The project has officially entered its testing and commissioning phase, bringing advanced battery energy storage technology to the province for the first time.
PetroEnergy Resources Corporation, the parent company of EcoSolar Energy Corporation, confirmed that the 22.5 MW / 45 MWh battery energy storage system has commenced generation testing. This follows the approval of its market registration and the receipt of a provisional connection certificate from the grid operator, allowing the facility to proceed with the required testing activities.
The Panitan Energy Storage Project is the first battery energy storage system installed in Capiz. It features advanced grid-forming technology designed to improve electricity network stability and strengthen the reliability of power supply. The technology is expected to support grid operations by providing essential services that help maintain stable electricity delivery, particularly during periods of high demand and changing power generation conditions.
The development comes at a significant time for the Visayas region, which continues to face challenges related to electricity reserve shortages, high power costs, and recurring supply disruptions. The new energy storage facility is expected to help address these concerns by improving the flexibility and reliability of the electricity system.
Company executives highlighted the importance of the project in supporting the region’s growing energy requirements. The installation is also expected to contribute to a more resilient power infrastructure by providing additional support during peak electricity demand periods.
EcoSolar Energy Corporation is continuing the remaining testing and commissioning activities to meet the necessary technical and operational requirements. Once all requirements are completed, the facility will be able to contribute to electricity supply and support grid stability.
The project represents another step towards expanding battery energy storage infrastructure in the Philippines and strengthening the country’s ability to integrate renewable energy while improving electricity reliability.
