Kapar, 12 November 2026 – Deputy Prime Minister Fadillah Yusof called for stronger safety standards for battery energy storage as BESSC Sdn Bhd launched a voluntary certification pilot in Kapar, Selangor, on 12 November. Fadillah, who is also Malaysia’s Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, said equipment should meet safety, quality and performance requirements as more batteries are installed alongside renewable power.

For Malaysian developers, suppliers and investors, the pilot is a step towards clearer expectations for installations that can remain in service for years.

The announcement did not make certification compulsory, change existing obligations or establish a date for new national rules.
