Battery Energy Storage Systems have the potential to transform how commercial and industrial companies in the Philippines manage their energy needs. With benefits ranging from cost reduction to energy supply stability, BESS is a compelling solution. While the initial investment may vary, the long-term advantages are undeniable.
Larger facilities with higher energy demands will require more extensive and costly systems. Battery energy storage systems using lithium-ion technology have an average price of US$393 per kWh to US$581 per kWh. While production costs of lithium-ion batteries are decreasing, the upfront capital costs can be substantial for commercial applications.
By Green Tiger Markets Electricity prices in the Philippines have taken a notable dip in 2025. The first half of the year has seen the average spot market price hover around PHP 4 per kilowatt-hour, a sharp fall from PHP 5.80 over the same period in 2024. For consumers, this spells relief.
MWh (Megawatt-hour) is a measure of energy capacity (how long the system can continue delivering that power output). For example, a 1 MW / 4 MWh BESS has four hours of storage capacity.So, while the system might be $200,000 per MW, the effective cost can be $800,000 per MWh if it has four hours duration.
Energy storage systems involve the integration of many components including batteries, fire detection equipment, controllers, inverters, and more – all packed inside an enclosure. While the initial investment may seem significant, it’s essential to consider the long-term savings and benefits that BESS can bring to your business
