Wartsila commissions 60 MW of energy storage systems in Philippines

Finnish technology group Wartsila Corp (HEL:WRT1V) said it has finalised its first two energy storage projects in the Philippines.

The 20-MW/20-MWh Integrated Renewables Power Hub-Toledo and the 40-MW/40-MWh solution at the BCCPP in Limay, Bataan, achieved final commissioning in May, the group said.

Wartsila delivered the projects under contracts with Philippine power company SMC Global Power Holdings Inc via its subsidiary Universal Power Solutions Inc. The Finish group signed multiple energy storage contracts with the client in 2019-2020.

The first two storage solutions were provided on the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) basis. The delivery included Wartsila’s GridSolv Max system, a standardised energy storage solution that provides flexible and modular storage for the core hardware assets of the systems, including the batteries, a safety and fire system, and inverters, alongside the proprietary energy management software platform GEMS.

Wartsila’s energy storage portfolio in Southeast Asia totals around 300 MW.
