Are battery energy storage systems becoming a reality in Malaysia?

The utilities sector in Malaysia is witnessing significant advancements in battery energy storage systems (BESS), evolving from concept to reality with notable projects underway. The first large-scale BESS project is currently being constructed in Sabah, a pivotal development for the country’s energy landscape.

What is Malaysia's first sodium-sulfur battery energy storage system?

In a pioneering project, we installed and commissioned Malaysia’s first Sodium-Sulfur (NaS) Battery Energy Storage System (1.45MWh) at the LSE II Large Scale Solar farm in Bukit Selambau, Kedah. This project serves as a national reference point for future large-scale standalone battery deployments.

Where in Malaysia is solar battery storage available?

GSL ENERGY has completed many more solar battery storage installations across Malaysia, including for homes, telecom towers, agricultural businesses, and factories in Penang, Selangor, Johor, Sabah, and Sarawak. GSL ENERGY offers cost-effective solar battery bank solutions with international certifications including CE, IEC62619, UN38.3, and more.

Are battery energy storage systems a keystone in Malaysia's Energy Transformation Story?

Battery energy storage systems (BESS), once relegated to the margins of policy discussions, are fast becoming a keystone in Malaysia’s energy transformation story. As solar and other renewables take up greater shares of the generation mix, the national grid’s growing complexity demands a reliable backbone, a role BESS is beginning to fulfil.
