Aboitiz Power Corp.’s joint venture with Norwegian firm Scatec will start this month the construction of a 20-MW battery energy storage system located at the Magat hydroelectric power plant in Ramon, Isabela province, the listed energy company said.
In a disclosure, AboitizPower said the joint venture, SN Aboitiz Power Group, signed on March 25 the engineering, procurement and construction agreement with Hitachi Energy for the development of the Magat BESS project.
