Is Malaysia ready for energy storage?
(Photo: iStock) Malaysia is rapidly expanding solar and other intermittent renewable generation, creating strong momentum for energy storage. The country’s first four large-scale grid-connected storage projects have attracted significant interest, with more than 20 companies submitting over 30 proposals.
What is Malaysia's first large-scale electrochemical energy storage system?
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.

What is Peninsular Malaysia's first utility-scale battery storage project?
The project marks Peninsular Malaysia’s first utility-scale battery storage project. Back in February, Tenaga had talked about a battery pilot project that it said would be “operated by Grid System Operator (GSO), and overseen by the EC”.
How much solar storage is needed in Malaysia?
In a recent interview, outgoing TNB president and CEO Datuk Seri Baharin Din highlighted the substantial storage requirements, estimating that around 500MW of storage capacity would be needed for every 1GW of solar capacity. This underscores the scale of investment required to fully integrate renewable energy into Malaysia’s energy mix.
Why is battery storage important in Malaysia?
The integration of battery storage is becoming increasingly essential as Malaysia seeks to leverage more renewable energy sources, particularly solar power. Solar energy’s variability, dependent on weather conditions, necessitates reliable storage solutions to ensure a consistent electricity supply during periods of low or no sunlight.
