Chinese system integrator HyperStrong has been contracted to work on a 100MW/440MWh battery storage project in Malaysia.
The pure play energy storage system integrator announced the deal with ERS Energy and Gamuda today, with HyperStrong set to work on the pair’s MyBeST Pekan Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) Project.
The standalone BESS, in the town of Pekan in the Malaysian Peninsular state of Pahang, was one of four project bids selected in a competitive solicitation for battery storage resources run by the Southeast Asian country’s energy commission, Suruhanjaya Tenaga (ST).
HyperStrong did not provide technical details of the planned project, but said it will provide grid services, including peak shaving, frequency regulation, and system balancing. The company said its BESS solution will need to meet Malaysia’s technical and environmental requirements, including high temperatures, high humidity, and high salinity conditions.

The programme, Malaysia Battery Energy Storage System (MyBeST), was the first tender for energy storage resources for the Malaysian Peninsular. MyBeST launched in November 2024.
It was run in alignment with Malaysia’s National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETRA), which targets renewable energy becoming 70% of the country’s installed generation capacity by 2050.
The programme sought a total of 400MW/1,600MWh of BESS resources, with each project of equal size, including 400MWh of usable capacity to 100MW output. Commissioning dates for the projects are in 2027, and the shortlisted bidders were announced towards the beginning of this year.
HyperStrong’s new customers ERS Energy, which is a solar engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) and commissioning company active across Southeast Asia and Gamuda, an engineering and infrastructure corporation, bid into the solicitation as a consortium.
The other shortlisted awardees are projects from a consortium of independent power producer (IPP) Blueleaf Energy and engineering and project delivery company Universal Peak, renewable energy developer Leader Energy and a separate project bid by ERS Energy.
HyperStrong is on a current wave of international expansion that has taken it into other new markets, including Greece and Sweden in recent months. Solar Media Market Research analyst Charlotte Gisbourne noted in a Guest Blog published yesterday on Energy-Storage.news that this has led to a 42% increase in HyperStrong’s overseas (non-China) revenue in 2025.
Gisbourne’s team at our in-house market research group produces the Battery StorageTech Bankability Ratings Report , updated quarterly.
The Guest Blog examined the changing revenue and margin dynamics in the BESS supplier landscape. HyperStrong is a rare example of a pure play BESS integrator—neither a vertically integrated OEM with a system integration arm, such as CATL or BYD, nor a diversified industrial group, such as Tesla.
Other recent big developments for HyperStrong include its 60GWh sodium-ion (Na-ion) supply agreement with the aforementioned CATL. HyperStrong CEO, founder and chairman Dr. Jianhui Zhang recently spoke with ESN Premium about that tie-up, as well as the potential for and challenges facing the adoption of sodium-based BESS technologies.
