Plus Xnergy Services Sdn Bhd (Plus Xnergy) has commissioned one of Malaysia’s largest single-deployment self-consumption (SELCO) Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) projects, bringing a 20 MWh industrial-scale battery storage system into full commercial operation at a major food manufacturing facility in Perak.
Developed in partnership with global energy storage technology provider HyperStrong, the project is designed to optimize electricity consumption by charging during off-peak periods and discharging during peak demand hours. The system is expected to improve energy efficiency, stabilize localized power supply, reduce load fluctuations, and significantly lower Maximum Demand charges for the manufacturing facility while supporting its long-term decarbonization strategy.
According to Plus Xnergy, the project demonstrates the growing commercial viability of battery energy storage systems as a cost-optimization solution for energy-intensive industries facing rising electricity tariffs.
Commenting on the milestone, Ko Chuan Zhen, Group Chief Executive Officer of Plus Xnergy, said the successful commissioning marks an important step in Malaysia’s clean energy transition by proving that battery storage can deliver measurable financial benefits for industrial users.
He noted that, based on the company’s operational data, industrial customers can potentially achieve annual savings of approximately RM1.25 million for every 10 MWh of installed BESS capacity, depending on their electricity load profile under Malaysia’s Regulatory Period 4 (RP4) framework.
The project combines Plus Xnergy’s engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) capabilities with HyperStrong’s HyperBlock III AC-coupled integrated BESS technology, which integrates the battery system with a Power Conversion System to improve efficiency while minimizing installation space requirements. The project was completed within a 2.5-month construction timeline.
To accelerate battery storage adoption across Malaysia’s industrial sector, Plus Xnergy also announced a zero-capital expenditure Performance Sharing Agreement (PSA) model. Under the 15-year agreement, the company will finance, install, operate and maintain BESS assets on customers’ sites, allowing manufacturers to benefit from lower electricity costs without upfront capital investment.
The latest commissioning expands Plus Xnergy’s growing clean energy portfolio. In 2024, the company deployed Malaysia’s first 1.45 MWh sodium-sulphur utility-scale BESS in Kedah. It also secured a RM95 million Corporate Green Power Programme (CGPP) solar project in 2025.
Earlier this year, in January 2026, Plus Xnergy was appointed as the EPCC contractor for a renewable energy project at KLIA Aeropolis, integrating a 36 MWp solar photovoltaic plant with a 45 MWh battery energy storage system under the SELCO framework to support airport operations.
With the completion of the Perak project, Plus Xnergy’s nationwide battery storage portfolio has reached 100 MWh across completed and ongoing projects. The company also operates a grid-connected solar portfolio exceeding 500 MWp, which has generated more than 3,180 GWh of clean electricity, reinforcing its position as a provider of commercial and utility-scale renewable energy solutions in Malaysia.
Plus Xnergy is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BM GreenTech Berhad, a constituent of Bursa Malaysia’s Renewable Energy subsector.
