ABOITIZ POWER CORP. (AboitizPower), through Therma Power, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary East Asia Utilities Corporation (EAUC), is set to commence construction of its 30-megawatt (MW) hybrid battery energy storage system (BESS) project at the Mactan Economic Zone in Cebu.

The project is slated for commissioning in the first half of 2026 and is expected to be one of the first large-scale energy storage systems in Central Visayas, the company said in a media release on Monday.

AboitizPower said the energy storage project is expected to help improve the reliability of the power supply amid rising demand from industries, businesses, and new locators in the economic zone.

"This project will allow us to respond to imbalances in real-time, helping the grid absorb fluctuations and minimize disruptions," said AboitizPower Transition Business Group Chief Operating Officer for Operated Assets Aldo Ramos.
