ERS Energy crosses 1.5GWh BESS milestone
KUALA LUMPUR: ERS Energy Sdn Bhd says it has surpassed 1.5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in cumulative utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity across Southeast Asia.
ERS Energy has reached a significant milestone by surpassing 1.5 gigawatt-hours (GWh) in cumulative utility-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity across Southeast Asia. Most of these projects were secured within the past year, according to the company's statement. The company's achievements include a 520 megawatt-hour (MWh) BESS project in Zambales, Philippines, as well as two projects totaling 800MWh under Malaysia's inaugural Battery Energy Storage Programme (MyBeST).
The expansion of ERS Energy's portfolio into utility-scale energy storage development and system integration underscores its growth beyond solar engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning. The company's BESS projects are designed to bolster grid stability and manage the intermittency of renewable energy sources as clean power deployment intensifies across Southeast Asia.
Managing Director Jonathan Kan lauded the team's execution discipline and expressed gratitude to the company's partners, lenders, and regional grid operators for their trust. He highlighted that the 1.5GWh milestone demonstrates the company's capacity to translate energy policy objectives into tangible grid infrastructure. ERS Energy is actively seeking new opportunities in Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Australia, where the surge in renewable energy deployment is creating a growing demand for grid flexibility and energy storage solutions.
