HyperStrong, a leading energy storage system solutions provider, has signed an agreement with ASEAN renewable energy EPCC company ERS Energy and Malaysia-based infrastructure and energy company Gamuda for the development of the MyBeST Pekan Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Project in Malaysia. The project will be developed in Pekan, located in the state of Pahang, with a planned capacity of 100MW/440MWh.
The MyBeST Pekan project is one of the first projects awarded under Malaysia’s Battery Energy Storage Programme (MyBeST), which was introduced by the Energy Commission of Malaysia, also known as Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST). The national initiative has been launched to speed up the deployment of utility-scale battery energy storage systems and support the country’s National Energy Transition Roadmap.
The standalone grid-side BESS project is expected to play an important role in improving grid flexibility and reliability as Malaysia continues to increase the use of renewable energy sources. Once completed, the project will provide several important grid support services such as peak shaving, frequency regulation, and system balancing. These services are expected to strengthen grid stability and help Malaysia achieve its long-term clean energy and energy transition goals.
The project is also considered an important milestone for HyperStrong’s business expansion in Southeast Asia. Through this collaboration, the company aims to demonstrate its capability to meet Malaysia’s technical and environmental requirements for large-scale energy storage systems. The company highlighted that the project has been designed for long-term stable operations under challenging tropical conditions, including high temperatures, high humidity, and high salinity.
Malaysia is increasingly being viewed as one of Southeast Asia’s important energy markets, particularly for renewable energy development and grid modernization. Industry observers believe that the successful execution of the MyBeST Pekan project could serve as a strong reference model for future battery energy storage projects across the Southeast Asian region.
The partnership also reflects HyperStrong’s strategy to strengthen local collaboration in Southeast Asia. ERS Energy is bringing its experience in renewable energy project development, while Gamuda is contributing its expertise in infrastructure construction and project execution. The three companies will jointly focus on ensuring the smooth and high-quality delivery of the project.
HyperStrong stated that by combining advanced energy storage technologies with regional expertise and infrastructure capabilities, the partnership creates a scalable and localized model for future projects. The company added that it will continue supporting renewable energy integration and grid flexibility across Southeast Asia through advanced energy storage solutions and future project developments.
