BOS Balance of Storage Systems AG, a developer of battery and energy storage solutions, announces its ongoing initiatives and future plans to bring sustainable electrification to rural hospitals in the Philippines. In a collaborative effort with Norwegian project developer Differ Community Power and local installation expert GoGridless, BOS has successfully integrated sustainable energy solutions into rural healthcare facilities. Building on this success, the company is ready to expand the initiative.

The importance of electrification in disaster-prone areas

The Philippines, a nation comprising over 7,600 islands, is frequently subjected to natural disasters including typhoons, earthquakes, and tropical storms. In such difficult times, rural healthcare facilities serve dual purposes: providing medical care and acting as emergency shelters. The need for reliable, sustainable electricity in these facilities is therefore doubly important.

Current Efforts: Providing Immediate Relief and Stability

As of today, BOS has successfully implemented its advanced energy solutions in eight healthcare facilities situated in the rural southern regions of the Philippines. These facilities include Parang Hospital, Indanan Rural Health Unit (RHU), Tandubas RHU, Tabawan RHU, Caluang RHU, Tuburan RHU, Al-Barka RHU, and Luuk Hospital. Together, these installations have added 450 kWh of lithium capacity and 220 kWp of photovoltaic modules to the Philippine healthcare infrastructure.

„Our current activities focus on solving immediate energy challenges,“ states Benjamin Seckinger, CEO of BOS Balance of Storage Systems. „Through this initiative, we are ensuring that essential healthcare services are not disrupted due to lack of reliable electricity, particularly in regions that are vulnerable to natural disasters.“

A Blueprint for future electrification projects

The impact of BOS‘ solar island system has been significant, notably at Luuk Municipal Hospital. At the energy seminar in Manila Dr. Jodl Isahac, the Hospitals Admin Head, describes the improvements since the systems installation: „The affordable and reliable energy provided by the new solar system has greatly improved the services our hospital provides. As a result, our bed occupancy rate has increased from 70% to 85% and continues to rise. We have also become more attractive to employees.“

Benjamin Seckinger, CEO at BOS, comments, „The success of the Solar Island Systems implemented in these eight hospitals is encouraging. They serve as a potential model for a scalable, sustainable healthcare system. Looking at the success of our modular energy systems, it is clear that our approach, has the potential to bring positive change to hospitals and other community-serving facilities. “

Strategic Partnerships to enhance Healthcare accessability

BOS is looking forward to explore further opportunities in the Philippines to enhance not just healthcare facilities but potentially other community-serving institutions like schools. The focus is on continuing the conversations and business opportunities presented at the recent energy seminar organized by BOS in Manila, and building new business partnerships that will shape the development of offgrid power in the Philippines.

Sean LePoidevin, Regional Manager Australia and Pacific, remarks: „We‘re enthusiastic about the new avenues opening up, including the promising conversations from the energy seminar. As we look to what lies ahead, we‘re focused on dialogue, collaboration, and the possibility of expanding our efforts to create a more sustainable energy infrastructure.“
