Hybrid Battery Energy Storage System project in Lapu-Lapu City

A 30-megawatt Hybrid Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), the first of its kind in Visayas, broke ground on July 17, 2025, inside the Mactan Economic Zone in Barangay Ibo, Lapu-Lapu City.

The project aims to enhance energy reliability and support the growing demand from key sectors across the region.

The facility is being developed by AboitizPower and East Asia Utilities Corporation and will store electricity during off-peak hours and release it during peak demand.

Cebu Governor Pamela “Pam” Baricuatro attended the launch and welcomed the initiative, calling it a “bold and timely move” that supports inclusive growth and sustainable development in Cebu.
