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.
