With the growing demand for reliable electricity supply, Sarawak Energy has recently commissioned the first utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) in Malaysia.
The project, which is Malaysia's first large-scale electrochemical energy storage system, was undertaken by China Energy Engineering Group Jiangsu Institute under an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) contract. Located in Kuching, the capital of Sarawak, the project has a capacity of 60 MW/80 MWh.
Credit: Canva Malaysia has marked a major milestone in its energy transition with the commissioning of its first utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) by Sarawak Energy. The 60 MW/82 MWh BESS, which was first energized in December 2024, is located at the Sejingkat Power Plant site—soon to be phased out after operating since 1998.
launched Malaysia’s first locally developed and produced Battery Energy Storage System (“BESS”) at the Genetec Technology EPIC Plant (“Genetec EPIC plant”) in Bangi, Selangor today.
The Premier of Sarawak and his delegation toured Sarawak Energy’s newly commissioned 60MW/82MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at the Sejingkat Power Plant.
The project signals a new era for energy storage in Malaysia, as the country seeks advanced solutions to support its rising power demand and growing renewable energy sector. BESS technology plays a crucial role in grid stability, peak demand management, and integrating intermittent renewables like solar power.
The global solar storage container market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 200% in the past two years. Pre-fabricated containerized solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new utility-scale storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 40% market share, driven by streamlined permitting processes and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 15-25%. Europe follows closely with 32% market share, where standardized container designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with China's manufacturing scale reducing container prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting mobile container solutions for rapid electrification, with typical payback periods of 3-5 years. Major projects now deploy clusters of 20+ containers creating storage farms with 100+MWh capacity at costs below $280/kWh.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar storage container performance while reducing costs. Next-generation thermal management systems maintain optimal operating temperatures with 40% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $80/kWh to $45/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple containers to operate as coordinated virtual power plants, increasing revenue potential by 25% through peak shaving and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and gas detection systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for container-based projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple container additions at just $210/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show 20ft containers (1-2MWh) starting at $350,000 and 40ft containers (3-6MWh) from $650,000, with volume discounts available for large orders.
