After Sunset: Why BESS Is Becoming Essential to the Energy Transition
I've just returned to the Philippines during the hottest months of the year. By mid-afternoon, air conditioners are working overtime across Metro Manila — and even long after sunset, the grid remains under pressure. And yet, during the middle of the day, the country is increasingly surrounded by one of the world's fastest-growing energy resources: solar power. The challenge isn't generation anymore. It's what happens after the sun goes down.
Altilium Green Energy Named People's Choice in the Philippines, Capping a Transformative Year of Impact Work
On 2 December 2025, eight ventures took the stage in Manila at an Investor Clinic organised by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Centre for Impact Investing and Practices (CIIP). Each had spent the better part of 2025 in an intensive accelerator programme designed to help impact-driven businesses scale their solutions — and make the case for why they deserve capital behind them.
Altilium Green Energy was one of those eight. And by the end of the day, the audience had voted us their People's Choice.
It was a proud moment. But honestly? It wasn't the biggest thing we took home.
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.
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.
