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.

Weekly Brief: 13-19 October 2026
Weekly brief: 13–19 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. 13 October 2026 — First publicly announced construction start under MyBeST. 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. 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.

LSS6 vs Mentari Nusantara I: Southeast Asia’s Two Biggest Solar Tenders Are Taking Opposite Approaches to Storage
Within weeks of each other, two of Southeast Asia’s largest state utilities opened the region’s biggest solar tenders to date. Malaysia’s LSS6 and Indonesia’s Mentari Nusantara I are comparable in ambition and timeline, but they differ on one design choice that matters more than either headline capacity number: whether storage is part of the procurement at all. What each tender actually covers LSS6, launched by Malaysia’s Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA), carries a quota of 2,500MW of solar paired with 1,250MW of battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity, plus a further 150MW of standalone solar reserved for Bumiputera companies. The programme is expected to attract RM13–15 billion in investment, with commercial operation targeted by 31 December 2029. Mentari Nusantara I, launched by Indonesia’s state utility PT PLN on 30 April 2026, covers 1,225MW of solar spread across six regions: Java (600MW), Kalimantan (340MW), Maluku and Papua (120MW), West Nusa Tenggara (80MW), Sulawesi (50MW), and Sumatra (35MW). It runs through a new procurement model called Giga One, which bundles multiple project sites into a single package to improve
