Greenstrum and Huawei Technologies Philippines Inc. are pitching integrated electric vehicle (EV) charging and battery storage systems to businesses seeking to manage rising electricity demand, improve energy efficiency and prepare for wider EV adoption.
The companies presented their solutions to five enterprises, including property developers and academic institutions, during “The New Energy Advantage,” their first business-to-business showcase, held at Huawei’s showroom in Bonifacio Global City.
The partnership combines Greenstrum, the EV charging solutions subsidiary of ACMobility, with Huawei’s battery energy storage system (BESS), which stores electricity when demand is low and releases it during peak periods.
The setup could help businesses reduce peak-demand costs, make better use of existing electrical capacity and support EV charging without immediately requiring costly power infrastructure upgrades. Actual savings, however, would depend on electricity tariffs, usage patterns and installation costs.
“We don’t come in just to provide hardware. What we do is we come in and provide a solution,” Greenstrum Chief Operating Officer Carl Decleodt said.
Decleodt said the storage system could deliver immediate savings while occupying a footprint of about two square meters, potentially making on-site EV charging more feasible for businesses with limited space.
For property developers, the proposition is increasingly relevant as EV chargers add to buildings’ electricity requirements. DMCI Homes electrical engineer Daniel Garcia said BESS could help address growing power needs as the company incorporates charging facilities into its condominiums.
Daiichi Properties purchasing officer Liezl Mico described battery storage as a long-term investment, with savings potentially increasing as utilization rises.
Beyond real estate, Greenstrum and Huawei are targeting hospitality operators, utilities and logistics companies, particularly those running cold-storage facilities or charging vehicle fleets.
The pitch comes as businesses weigh the costs of electrification against constraints in power capacity and infrastructure. Battery storage offers a way to manage demand, although adoption will hinge on whether projected savings justify upfront investment.
The companies plan further showcases to broaden enterprise engagement and explore potential collaborations.
