Amber Kinetics, a US-based energy storage company, announced plans to further expand its operations in the Philippines and the US following a visit by Philippine Ambassador to the US Jose Manuel Romualdez.
“Amber Kinetics’ investment and innovation in energy storage are transforming the Philippines’ energy landscape, driving sustainability and supporting our transition to a greener future,” Romualdez said during a visit organized by the Philippine Trade and Investment Center (PTIC) in Silicon Valley.
Romualdez took note of a new technology unique to Amber Kinetics—an energy storage extending capacity from minutes to hours. The new technology offers safe, sustainable, and reliable solutions for modern energy grids.
“This bilateral partnership exemplifies our shared vision for world-leading energy efficiency solutions. We are excited about the next stages of development,” said Amber Kinetics co-founder and chief technology officer Seth Sanders.
The visit was an off-shoot of Amber Kinetics’ participation in the Philippines Sustainability Roundtable during the 2023 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation in San Francisco, where the company was recognized for its contributions to renewable energy initiatives in the Philippines.
Amber Kinetics has a global facility in Batangas, which focuses on manufacturing, assembling, and testing flywheels, and a demonstration hub at De La Salle University in Sta. Rosa, Laguna which is the world’s first flywheel innovation center.
Philippine consul general to San Francisco Neil Frank Ferrer emphasized the importance of public-private collaborations.
“The Philippine government remains focused on exploring potential public-private sector partnerships by leveraging Silicon Valley’s dynamic culture of innovation,” he said.
