Sungrow, a global PV inverter and energy storage system provider, recently inked an agreement with MSR Green Energy SDN BHD (MSR-GE) to advance a 100MW/400MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) project in Sabah, Malaysia. This project’s final installed capacity will be 517MWh to meet the client’s long-term capacity needs.
MSR-GE, the lead company in the venture, successfully secured the tender from Sabah Electricity Sdn. Bhd. (SESB) and accepted a Letter of Award dated September 11, 2024. The contract, valued at approximately RM645 million, covers the engineering, procurement, and construction of the Sabah BESS Project.
The signing ceremony was attended by Sungrow Senior Vice President. James Wu and MSR-GE Director Xavier Qiang at Sungrow’s headquarters. The BESS project will utilize battery technology, an advanced Power Conversion System, a Medium Voltage System, and an Energy Management System, all designed to ensure efficient performance and operational stability.
As a market leader, Sungrow offers MSR-GE a complete solution that integrates its technological innovations in renewable energy, enhancing efficiency and sustainability while addressing the specific demands of the energy market.
Xavier Qiang, Director of MSR-GE, shared his excitement about the partnership: “We are truly honored to collaborate with Sungrow, one of China’s top BESS providers with a strong global track record. MSRGE 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’s Malaysian Country Manager, Cobe He, highlighted the significance of the collaboration, stating, “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 Sungrow and MSR-GE in the renewable energy sector, laying a strong foundation for future cooperation.
