  • APAC Data Centre Boom: Data centre capacity in Asia-Pacific is projected to grow to 60 GW in 2026, driven by AI and cloud computing demand
  • Fossil Fuel Risk: Without long-duration energy storage, data centres risk locking in fossil fuel backup generation for decades
  • BESS Solution: Battery Energy Storage Systems can provide grid stabilisation, peak shaving and backup power for data centres
  • Malaysia Hub: Malaysia is emerging as a major APAC data centre hub, with Johor and Selangor attracting significant hyperscale investment
  • Grid Strain: Rapid data centre deployment is straining power grids across Southeast Asia, requiring flexible generation and storage solutions
  • 2025 Market Growth: Global BESS market exceeded expectations in 2025 — US surpassed 40 GW, Europe grew 45% YoY, Australia became third-largest utility-scale market
  • Long-Duration Need: Data centres require 4-12 hour storage duration for grid independence, beyond typical 2-hour lithium-ion systems
  • Cost Competitiveness: BESS costs continue to decline, making storage increasingly competitive with diesel gensets for backup power
  • ASEAN Grid Integration: Regional power grid integration across ASEAN could enable shared storage resources and improve data centre resilience
  • Wärtsilä Outlook: Major energy storage integrators see APAC as the highest-growth region for BESS deployment in 2026-2030
