Beyond Acquisition: The Real Cost of Energy Security
Beyond Acquisition: The Real Cost of Energy Security
In the wake of Reuters’ recent exposé on rogue communication devices embedded in certain Chinese-made inverters and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), the global clean energy sector is being forced to confront a sobering reality: performance alone is no longer enough. As Altilium Green Energy CEO Jovy Gill aptly put it, this is a “wake-up call” for governments, utilities, and businesses alike. In a world where energy infrastructure is inextricably tied to national resilience and economic stability, security and trust must be engineered into every solution — from the supply chain to the control system.
At Altilium, we believe energy transition should never come at the cost of sovereignty or operational integrity. That’s why our Smart BESS™ is designed not only for performance, but for long-term value, security, and regional empowerment. From UK-certified components to Philippine-based assembly and cyber-secure controls, we build storage solutions you can trust — today, and into the future.
Powering ASEAN’s Green Future: IRENA Data Underscores the Urgency for Smart BESS
Powering ASEAN’s Green Future: Why Smart Battery Storage is the Missing Piece
The world is charging ahead with renewables—and Asia is leading the pack. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency’s (IRENA) latest Renewable Capacity Statistics 2025, global renewable power capacity soared to a record 4.4 terawatts in 2024, with solar and wind making up over 96% of new additions.
While ASEAN countries are part of this momentum, the pace and depth of the transition remain uneven across the region. Nations like Vietnam and Thailand are making notable progress, but challenges around policy consistency, grid infrastructure, and storage still limit the full potential of renewable energy.
That’s where Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) come in. As variable sources like solar and wind continue to grow, smart and scalable energy storage is no longer optional—it’s essential. Smart BESS technology can stabilize grids, unlock higher renewable penetration, and ultimately accelerate ASEAN’s path to a cleaner, more resilient energy future.
At Altilium Green Energy, we’re committed to enabling this future with sustainable, cost-effective Smart BESS solutions—assembled in the Philippines, designed for ASEAN, and built for impact.
Breathing New Life Into Energy Storage: A Second-Life Retrofit Success and Its Potential for Asia Pacific
Reviving Legacy Energy Storage: A Second Life Success Story
Discover how Altilium Green Energy transformed a degraded 3 MWh battery storage site into a high-performing 9 MWh system using advanced SMART™ battery technology. Installed in 2023, the retrofit tripled capacity, doubled daily cycling, and achieved 99% uptime—without replacing the existing infrastructure. Featuring 100% recyclable, non-toxic batteries with over 25-year lifespan, this project proves the power of second-life energy storage to deliver long-term profit, grid resilience, and environmental impact.
Ideal for asset owners and energy providers across Asia Pacific seeking scalable, sustainable BESS solutions.
An Insightful Perspective from ACEN’s CEO, Eric Francia
As the Philippines rapidly scales its renewable energy capacity, battery storage must evolve from a supporting role to a central pillar of the energy system. In a recent statement, ACEN CEO Eric Francia proposed a separate auction process exclusively for battery energy storage systems (BESS)—a move that could significantly reduce energy waste and improve grid reliability. At Altilium Green Energy, we fully support this direction. With our Smart BESS™ technology, we’re committed to helping the country unlock the full value of clean energy and deliver reliable, affordable power to more communities.
Case Study: Altilium’s BESS Solution for Wind Energy in Asia Pacific
With an expected wind capacity of over 120 GW by 2030, the Asia Pacific market is set to grow significantly, driven by energy transition policies and increased funding for sustainable technologies. This case study introduces Altilium’s Smart BESS, an AI-driven solution that optimizes wind energy storage by addressing key challenges like curtailment losses and parasitic loads. With its sustainable, 100% recyclable battery design, the Smart BESS is ideal for regions like Asia Pacific, where demand for efficient renewable solutions continues to grow.
The Growing Dependence on Coal: A Closer Look at the Philippines and Indonesia
Rising Coal Dependence in the Philippines and Indonesia
In 2023, the Philippines ramped up its coal division in electricity generation to 61.9%, a significant rise from 59.1% in 2022. Similarly, Indonesia's coal dependency increased slightly to 61.8%. These figures stand in stark contrast to the ASEAN average, which sits at 33% in 2023, up from 31% in 2022.
