Meralco aims to complete 49 MW battery storage system in Cebu by 2027
Meralco PowerGen Corporation aims to complete the first phase of its Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Toledo, Cebu by 2026, with full completion expected a year later.
The first phase will have a capacity of 25 MW and the entire system is set to reach 49 MW upon full completion.
MGEN stated that the facility will enhance grid stability and support the energy transition in the Visayas region, where demand is increasing and renewable energy sources are becoming more valuable.
Emmanuel Rubio, MGEN's president and CEO, emphasized the project's role in strengthening grid reliability and accelerating the shift to cleaner energy.
The Cebu BESS facility follows a similar project in Nueva Ecija, which broke ground in November 2024 as part of MGEN's broader commitment to sustainable energy solutions.
