Malaysia has taken a significant step toward strengthening its power system and supporting higher renewable energy penetration, as Blueleaf Energy and Universal Peak have won a competitive bid to develop a 100-MW / 400-MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) under the country’s inaugural utility-scale storage tender.

Australia has reached a major milestone in its energy transition with the start of commercial operations at Eraring Battery 1, a 460 MW / 1,770 MWh grid-scale battery energy storage system (BESS) located in New South Wales. The project is owned and operated by Origin Energy and is directly connected to the National Electricity Market (NEM).
