The Challenge
Help the Luzon grid to maintain reliable electrical system and stabilizing the grid by complementing with system imbalance
In the Philippines, renewable energy contributes 29.3% to the overall grid capacity. However, the inherent variability of these energy sources can cause fluctuations, leading to potential instability. This presents considerable challenges for ensuring a consistent and reliable energy supply across the nation. This variability can lead to fluctuations that affect grid operations, necessitating the need for dependable ancillary services.
To address this, Ingrid Power Holdings, Inc., a partnership between Japan-based Marubeni Corporation and ACEN Corporation, entered into a Power Plant Lease Agreement with Aggreko. Aggreko's expertise in providing the required ancillary power, through its flexible and efficient power solutions, plays a crucial role in stabilizing the grid. Their ability to deliver reliable, on-demand energy supports the integration of renewable sources, thereby mitigating the risk of instability and ensuring a steady power supply to meet the country's needs.
