# Malaysia Accelerates Large-Scale Battery Storage to Stabilize Renewable Grid *Author: Solar PV Expert | Category: news | Published: Wed Jun 10 2026 09:29:17 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)* ### English * **Strategic Grid Expansion**: Malaysia is scaling up Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak to manage the intermittent nature of renewable energy. * **Addressing Solar Limitations**: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof emphasized that BESS is crucial for balancing the grid, as solar power cannot provide a consistent base load on its own. * **Mandatory Integration**: All future Large Scale Solar (LSS) tenders will now require the integration of battery storage components to ensure better energy flow management. * **Key Infrastructure Projects**: A notable 100MW BESS facility in Santong, Terengganu, has been established to support approximately 40,000 users, with further deployments ongoing via Sabah Electricity and Sarawak Energy. ### 中文 * **战略电网扩建**: 马来西亚正在马来半岛、沙巴和砂拉越扩大电池储能系统 (BESS) 项目,以应对可再生能源的间歇性波动。 * **解决太阳能局限**: 副总理拿督斯里法迪拉尤索夫强调,BESS 对电网平衡至关重要,因为太阳能无法独立提供稳定的基荷电力。 * **强制性整合**: 所有未来的大型太阳能 (LSS) 招标项目现将强制要求整合储能组件,以优化能源流的管理。 * **重点基础设施**: 登嘉楼州 Santong 已启用 100 兆瓦的 BESS 项目,惠及约 40,000 名用户;沙巴电力公司和砂拉越能源公司也正在进行相关部署。
