ERS Energy Sdn Bhd (ERS Energy) has officially entered the execution phase of two utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) projects awarded under the Malaysia Battery Energy Storage Programme (MyBeST), following the signing of project agreements with the designated offtaker.
The development marks a significant milestone for Malaysia’s first large-scale competitive bidding programme focused on grid-scale battery energy storage, aimed at enhancing grid reliability and supporting the country’s renewable energy ambitions.
ERS Energy emerged as the largest award recipient under the MyBeST programme, securing two of the four projects awarded. The company directly secured one 100MW/400MWh BESS project, while the second 100MW/400MWh project is being developed through a consortium with its long-term corporate partner, Gamuda.
Both projects are located in Peninsular Malaysia and are scheduled for commercial commissioning in 2027. ERS Energy stated that it has partnered with leading global energy storage solution providers for the delivery of both projects.
Commenting on the development, Jonathan Kan, Managing Director of ERS Energy, described the MyBeST programme as a major milestone in Malaysia’s energy transition journey. He noted that the company is honoured to contribute to the deployment of critical battery energy storage infrastructure that will strengthen grid stability and support the nation’s long-term renewable energy goals.
The MyBeST programme forms a key component of the Malaysian government’s strategy to accelerate renewable energy integration while enhancing the resilience and stability of the national power grid. Under the programme framework, developers are responsible for project delivery and long-term operational performance, highlighting the importance of technical expertise and asset management capabilities.
ERS Energy brings extensive experience to the projects, having delivered more than 2GWp of solar capacity across the Asia-Pacific region. The company provides end-to-end services covering engineering, procurement, construction, commissioning, and asset management.
According to the company, the commencement of the execution phase reinforces ERS Energy’s position in Malaysia’s energy transition efforts while establishing a reference model for future large-scale energy storage deployments across the region.
