en.Wedoany.com Reported - ERS Energy Sdn Bhd has secured two utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects under Malaysia's Battery Energy Storage Program (MyBeST), with offtake agreements signed and the execution phase underway.

This marks a significant milestone for the country's first large-scale competitive tender for grid-level battery storage, aimed at enhancing grid reliability and advancing renewable energy targets. ERS Energy is the company with the most projects awarded under the MyBeST program, winning two out of four awarded projects. One 100MW/400MWh project is directly undertaken by the company, while the other 100MW/400MWh project is being developed through a joint venture with its long-term partner Gamuda.

Both projects are located in Peninsular Malaysia and are scheduled to commence commercial operations in 2027. ERS Energy has partnered with global energy storage solution providers to facilitate project delivery. Managing Director Jonathan Kan stated that the MyBeST program is of great significance to Malaysia's energy transition, and the company is honored to participate in deploying critical energy storage infrastructure, strengthening grid stability, and supporting the nation's long-term renewable energy goals.

The MyBeST program is a strategic component of the Malaysian government's efforts to accelerate renewable energy integration and enhance grid resilience. It requires developers to be responsible for project delivery and long-term operational performance, highlighting the importance of technical expertise and asset management capabilities. ERS Energy has delivered over 2GWp of solar capacity in the Asia-Pacific region, providing end-to-end services from engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning to asset management.

The company stated that the launch of the execution phase solidifies its position in Malaysia's energy transition and provides a reference model for future large-scale energy storage deployment in the region.
