Malaysia to mandate battery storage for all LSS6 solar projects

The government is targeting around 2,000 MW of BESS capacity under a phased rollout, with an initial 100 MW project already commissioned and another 400 MW under development. Fadillah said all new solar power generation under LSS6 must come with a battery, turning storage from an optional add-on into a core tender requirement. The decision matters because it links Malaysia’s next solar procurement wave directly to dispatchability and grid reliability.
