# Malaysia Launches Largest-Ever 2 GW Solar Tender LSS6 with Mandatory Battery Storage Requirement *Author: Eternalgy Market Intelligence Team | Category: news | Published: Fri Jun 05 2026 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)* ## English * **Largest solar tender**: Malaysia is launching Large Scale Solar 6 (LSS6), the country's biggest solar tender to date, offering 2,000 MW (2 GW) of new capacity * **Mandatory BESS**: All LSS6 projects must integrate Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), a significant policy shift to address solar intermittency and improve grid stability * **Government rationale**: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof stated that battery storage is essential for grid reliability, as solar generation fluctuates with sunlight and weather conditions * **Grid strategy**: Battery systems will store excess energy during peak sunlight hours and release it when solar generation declines, ensuring consistent electricity supply * **NETR alignment**: The tender aligns with Malaysia's National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), which targets 70% renewable energy mix by 2050 * **Investment potential**: Malaysia's energy transition initiatives could attract up to MYR 1.3 trillion by 2050, underscoring the long-term commitment to clean energy * **MyBeST programme**: The tender complements the My Battery Energy Storage System (MyBeST) initiative, launched in late 2024, targeting 400 MW of battery capacity and 1,600 MWh of energy storage across four projects in Peninsular Malaysia * **Previous LSS milestones**: LSS5 and LSS5+ combined delivered approximately 4 GW of solar capacity, with LSS6 representing the next major expansion * **Policy shift**: The mandatory storage requirement signals Malaysia's transition from pure solar deployment to integrated solar-plus-storage as the standard for utility-scale projects ## 中文 * **最大太阳能招标**:马来西亚推出大型太阳能6期(LSS6),这是该国迄今规模最大的太阳能招标,新增装机容量达2,000兆瓦(2吉瓦) * **强制配备储能**:所有LSS6项目必须配套建设电池储能系统(BESS),这是应对太阳能间歇性、提升电网稳定性的重大政策转变 * **政府理由**:副首相拿督斯里法迪拉尤索夫表示,电池储能对电网可靠性至关重要,因为太阳能发电会随日照和天气条件波动 * **电网策略**:电池系统将在日照充足时段储存多余电能,并在太阳能发电减少时释放,确保电力供应持续稳定 * **NETR对接**:该招标与马来西亚国家能源转型路线图(NETR)保持一致,目标是到2050年实现70%的可再生能源占比 * **投资潜力**:马来西亚能源转型举措预计到2050年可吸引高达1.3万亿令吉的投资,彰显了对清洁能源的长期承诺 * **MyBeST计划**:该招标与2024年底推出的马来西亚电池储能系统(MyBeST)计划相辅相成,目标是在半岛马来西亚四个项目中开发400兆瓦电池容量和1,600兆瓦时储能 * **LSS历史里程碑**:LSS5和LSS5+合计已部署约4吉瓦太阳能装机容量,LSS6标志着下一阶段的重大扩张 * **政策转向**:强制储能要求标志着马来西亚从单纯太阳能部署向光储一体化转型,成为公用事业级项目的标准配置
