Weekly Brief: 20–26 October 2026
Weekly brief: 20–26 October 2026. Five items from the past week, with dates and sources. Figures are as published by the source named; where the public record is ambiguous we say so rather than resolving it. 20 October 2026 — 12.3 GW of supply capacity approved for data centre projects. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said in a written parliamentary reply that 12.3 GW of electricity supply capacity had been approved for data centre projects as of August 2026, and that the sector’s projected maximum demand is 8.39 GW by 2030. (The Star, 20 Oct 2026) 20 October 2026 — A 30% renewable requirement, and a self-generation framework with no stated date. In the same reply, Fadillah said data centres must source at least 30% of their total demand capacity from renewable energy, and that the Energy Commission is preparing a framework for self-generation facilities. The reply did not state when that framework will be issued. (The Star, 20 Oct 2026) 21 October 2026 — RM568.2 million substation contract from

MyBeST: Four Projects, Four Different Kinds of Milestone
What happened. On 13 October 2026, Leader Energy began construction of a 100 MW / 400 MWh battery energy storage system at Pajam, Negeri Sembilan. It is the first of the four projects shortlisted under the Energy Commission’s MyBeST programme for which a construction start has been publicly announced. MyBeST is Peninsular Malaysia’s first competitive procurement for grid-connected battery storage, administered by the Energy Commission (Suruhanjaya Tenaga). The Commission received 28 applications and announced the shortlist on 19 December 2025: four projects, each nominally 100 MW / 400 MWh, for a stated programme total of 400 MW / 1,600 MWh, with commissioning targeted for 2027. What the public record shows, and what it does not The four projects are at publicly reported milestones that are not the same kind of milestone. This distinction matters for anyone modelling the 2027 commissioning target, and it is easy to lose when the four are listed side by side.

It is the first of the four projects shortlisted under the Energy Commission’s MyBeST programme for which a construction start has been publicly announced. The other three have published milestones but not construction starts: the ERS Energy and ERS–Gamuda projects were reported on 10 June 2026 as having entered the “execution phase” after signing project agreements with the offtaker, and the Blueleaf Energy–Universal Peak project has reached financial close.
