SN AboitizPower to build 80-MW battery energy storage in Benguet

2 min read

SN ABOITIZ POWER (SNAP), a joint venture between Aboitiz Renewables, Inc. and Norwegian firm Scatec ASA, is set to begin construction of an 80-megawatt (MW) battery energy storage system (BESS) in Benguet.

In a statement on Wednesday, Aboitiz Power Corp. (AboitizPower) said it had reached financial close for two BESS projects: a 40-MW system at the Binga hydroelectric power plant and a 40-MW system at the Ambuklao hydroelectric power plant.

Co-located with SNAP’s existing hydro facilities, both projects are designed to provide power reserves to the Luzon grid through the reserve market.

The facilities are targeted to begin commercial operations later this year.

Once completed, SNAP’s total BESS capacity in operation and under construction will rise to 160 MW.

The new capacity adds to SNAP’s growing energy storage portfolio, including the 24-MW BESS at the Magat Hydroelectric Power Plant, which has been providing ancillary services since 2024.

A BESS stores electricity from the grid and releases it when needed to augment supply or improve power quality, helping stabilize the grid and manage fluctuations in renewable energy generation.

“As the Philippines continues to scale up renewable energy under its energy transition goals, the need for flexible and reliable ancillary services is expected to grow,” the company said.

Aboitiz Renewables, the renewable energy arm of AboitizPower, said it aims to help the group reach its renewable energy target of 4,600 MW by 2030.

“Through continued investments in hydro, battery energy storage, and other renewable technologies, Aboitiz Renewables and SNAP are advancing a more resilient and flexible portfolio that supports long-term energy security and sustainability,” the company said. — Sheldeen Joy Talavera

Saudi Awwal Bank Adopts Chainlink Tools, LINK Near $23

The post Saudi Awwal Bank Adopts Chainlink Tools, LINK Near $23 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. SAB adopts Chainlink’s CCIP and CRE to expand tokenization and cross-border finance tools. SAB and Wamid target $2.32T Saudi capital markets with blockchain-based tokenization plans. LINK price falls 2.43% to $22.99 despite higher trading volume and steady liquidity ratios. Saudi Awwal Bank has added Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) to its digital strategy. CCIP links assets and data across multiple blockchains, while CRE provides banks with a controlled framework to test and deploy new financial applications. The lender, with more than $100 billion in assets, is applying the tools to tokenized assets, cross-border settlement, and automated credit platforms. The move signals that Chainlink’s infrastructure is being adopted at scale inside regulated finance.

The focus is on equities and debt products, opening the door for blockchain-based issuance and settlement. SAB has already executed the world’s first Islamic repo on distributed ledger technology, in collaboration with Oumla earlier this year. That transaction gave regulators a template for compliant on-chain contracts. The Wamid deal builds directly on that precedent, shifting from single-instrument pilots toward broader capital markets integration. Saudi Blockchain Buildout Gains Pace Saudi institutions are building multiple layers of digital infrastructure. Oumla is working with Avalanche to develop the Kingdom’s first domestically hosted Layer 1 blockchain. SAB’s Chainlink adoption adds an interoperability and execution layer on top. Together, these projects are shaping a domestic framework for tokenization, with global connectivity added only where liquidity requires it.
