The project, which is Malaysia's first large-scale electrochemical energy storage system, was undertaken by China Energy Engineering Group Jiangsu Institute under an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contract. Located in Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, the project has a capacity of 60 MW/80 MWh.
"The grid-side energy storage power station is a 'smart regulator' for urban electricity, which can flexibly adjust grid resources," Tesla said on Weibo, according to a Google translation. This would "effectively solve the pressure of urban power supply and ensure the safe, stable and efficient electricity demand of the city," it added.
Capacity for global battery energy storage systems rose 42 gigawatts in 2023, nearly doubling the total increase in capacity observed in the previous year, according to the International Energy Agency. — CNBC's Arjun Kharpal contributed reporting.
Sarawak Energy said that the 60MW Bess, which was energized in December 2024, provides essential grid services, including primary spinning reserve (emergency reserve), voltage and frequency regulation, and peak demand management. It said these services support the overall optimization of power generation and grid systems.
