The adoption of BESS itself has its limitations. These include the lack of supporting regulatory framework, sufficient investment and addressing supply chain issues behind BESS projects. With the current policy framework and planned RE projects (BAU), Malaysia will miss out on their 2025 and 2035 RE capacity goals by 2 % and 8 %, respectively.
The programme is broken into four projects with a capacity of 100mw/400mwh each and includes the design, installation and operation of BESS at various sites in Peninsular Malaysia. Each project must start operations by 2026 and is expected to have commercial operations spanning over a period of 15 years.
BESS offers not only environmental benefits but also lucrative investment opportunities. As Malaysia works towards reducing its carbon footprint and meeting green energy targets, BESS provides a reliable, efficient solution to store and distribute green energy from intermittent renewable sources such as solar, biomass, biogas, and hydropower.
Peninsular Malaysia’s rising solar penetration, currently over 2.5 GW, has increased the urgency to deploy storage as a flexible grid asset. By launching this BESS auction ahead of major stability issues, Malaysia is taking a proactive step to future-proof its power system, with COD targeted for 2026.
This auction signals a strategic shift. Rather than waiting for grid instability to emerge as a binding constraint, Malaysia is moving ahead to integrate BESS as a core grid asset, aimed at absorbing excess renewable energy, reducing curtailment, and maintaining frequency stability.
The transformative power of BESS in Malaysia extends beyond environmental benefits. It catalyses advancements in smart grid technology and energy management systems, promoting efficient energy usage and emissions reduction.
