The Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) signed four agreements with Australian companies in  smart city solutions, as part of the P86-billion investments signed during the Philippine Business Forum on the sidelines of the Asean-Australia Special Summit in Melbourne, Australia on  March 4.

BCDA signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Kaizen ANZ Pty Ltd for the development, design, construction, commissioning, and funding of a Tier-3 Data Center in Poro Point Freeport Zone, La Union.

This will provide the Philippines with a robust and scalable infrastructure for secure and efficient computer, network, and storage technology capabilities.

BCDA also signed an agreement with St. Battalion GigaFactory Inc. on the expansion of next-generation battery manufacturing in the Philippines.

This upgrade would entail an increase from 600 megawatt hour (MWh) to two gigawatt hour (GWh) by 2030 and the availability of at least four more ready-built factories in New Clark City, Capas, Tarlac. This expansion is estimated to create an additional 500 employment opportunities.

The BCDA also inked an MOU with Energy Decarb Pty Ltd to deploy decarbonization solutions in New Clark City and other BCDA properties.

This deal includes the orchestration of renewable energy, storage, and e-mobility, aimed at reducing energy costs and reliance on grid power.

The fourth MOU was with Passenger Urban and Rapid Vehicles Solutions Inc. to explore potential opportunities for providing electric vehicle fleets of various types within its properties. This would include the design, installation, and operation of fast-charging stations.
