Sungrow has announced the signing of an agreement with MSR Green Energy (MSR-GE) to advance a 100MW/400MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Sabah, Malaysia. The project is expected to play a crucial role in the region’s transition to renewable energy and sustainable development, with a final installed capacity of 517MWh.
MSR-GE, the lead company in the venture, successfully secured the tender from Sabah Electricity, with the contract, valued at approximately RM645 million, covering the engineering, procurement and construction of the project.
The signing ceremony at Sungrow’s headquarters was attended by Sungrow Senior Vice President James Wu and MSR-GE Director Xavier Qiang. Sungrow will provide a complete solution, integrating its technological innovations in renewable energy, enhancing efficiency and sustainability while addressing the specific demands of the energy market.
Xavier Qiang commented: “We are delighted to collaborate with Sungrow, one of China’s top BESS providers with a strong global track record. MSR-GE has successfully implemented an off-grid solar BESS hybrid system with Sungrow’s solution to supply 24/7 clean energy to a palm oil plantation in Sabah. We look forward to merging MSR-GE’s expertise in energy project delivery with Sungrow’s specialized BESS experience to bring the world’s most advanced and reliable grid-scale energy storage solutions to Malaysia. This will help Sabah tackle current power supply and grid stability challenges, while ensuring the grid is ready for future renewable energy plants.”
Sungrow Country Manager for Malaysia, Cobe He, highlighted the significance of the collaboration, adding: “We will deploy a dedicated project team to fully support MSR-GE, ensuring efficient execution and smooth project progress. Our local team will provide long-term quality assurance, performance guarantees, and a comprehensive Long-Term Service Agreement (LTSA) to ensure exceptional performance and enduring value.”
This partnership strengthens the strategic relationship between the two parties in the renewable energy sector, laying a strong foundation for future cooperation.
