GE Philippines
is looking at possible opportunities to showcase its technology in the power
sector, particularly hydropower and battery-energy storage.
“We are focusing on
renewable energy and gas. We are seeing some hydro. We are trying to see pump
storage,” GE Philippines President Jose Emmanuel de Dios said.
With solutions for
wind, hydro, biogas and solar, GE is fully equipped to support the
Philippines’s RE targets.
“We hear a lot of
people talking about hydro than solar,” he added.
GE equips 25 percent of
hydropower assets worldwide. “We have more than 25 percent installed
global hydropower capacity,” de Dios said.
The company is also
looking to pilot batteryenergy storage with a capacity of 4 megawatt (MW)
hours.
“We are seeing interest
in the region,” he added.
Also, the world’s
largest installed (48 gigawatt) base of pumped storage plants in operation or
under construction is equipped with GE technology.
GE offers unique hydro
solutions based on project-specific, cutting-edge and digital technologies to
deliver the greatest value to customers. Smarter and more connected, GE’s hydro
plants no longer just generate power; they store it and deliver it to the grid
with an unmatched level of flexibility and efficiency. GE is the only
digital-industrial company that can provide choices for the entire value chain
of a hydropower plant.
GE also offers a full
suite of onshore and offshore wind turbines. The company’s wind turbines
are uniquely suited to meet the needs of customers globally.
GE supplied the steam
turbine and generator for the Masinloc power plant.
