SHAH ALAM, Selangor, July 7 (Bernama) -- Leading power infrastructure solutions provider TAMCO and global solar and energy storage innovator, Hoymiles today announced a strategic partnership to support the development of Malaysia’s future energy infrastructure, bringing together global energy storage technologies with local industrial expertise.
The first phase of the partnership will see TAMCO undertake the local assembly of Hoymiles’ AI-enhanced 5MWh and 6MWh liquid-cooled utility-scale Battery Energy Storage Solutions (BESS) at its facility in Shah Alam. Leveraging Hoymiles' globally deployed energy storage technologies and TAMCO's six decades of experience in delivering power infrastructure solutions, the collaboration expands TAMCO's energy solutions portfolio while enabling greater local accessibility and support for large-scale energy storage in Malaysia.
Datuk Sikh Shamsul Ibrahim Sikh Abdul Majid,
Chief Executive Officer, MIDA, said, "Malaysia's energy transition presents significant opportunities to strengthen domestic industrial capabilities while accelerating the adoption of advanced clean energy technologies. The collaboration between TAMCO and Hoymiles demonstrates how global expertise can complement Malaysian engineering strengths to deepen local supply chains, facilitate technology transfer and create high-value opportunities for local businesses and talent. In line with the aspirations of the New Industrial Master Plan 2030 and the National Energy Transition Roadmap, partnerships such as this will strengthen Malaysia's industrial competitiveness while delivering broader economic and socioeconomic benefits for the
rakyat."
Wong Jun Pin,
CEO of TAMCO Switchgear (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., said, “Innovation creates possibilities, but execution and long-term commitment are what transform them into solutions that industries and communities can depend on. That belief has guided TAMCO for more than six decades and will continue to shape how we contribute to Malaysia's evolving energy landscape. Our partnership with Hoymiles represents an important step in expanding the solutions we deliver while strengthening the engineering expertise and technical capabilities needed for the country's future energy infrastructure.”
Dr. Zhao Yi,
Chief Technology Officer and Vice President of Hoymiles, stated, "Across global markets, we have learned that the success of advanced energy solutions depends as much on trusted local partnerships as it does on technology. Malaysia has built a strong foundation for the future of energy, and TAMCO's engineering expertise and deep understanding of the local operating environment make them an ideal partner to translate our global experience into solutions that deliver value locally.”
Malaysia’s energy transition is entering a new phase of infrastructure development driven by rising investments in digital infrastructure, advanced manufacturing and renewable energy. Under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR), the Government aims for renewable energy to contribute 40% of installed electricity capacity by 2035 and 70% by 2050. As Malaysia’s energy mix becomes increasingly diversified, resilient energy infrastructure, advanced storage systems and strong local execution will be critical to supporting long-term energy security and economic growth.
The announcement was witnessed by Mr. Sherulanuar Abd Karim, Director of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA) Selangor, as both companies embark on an alliance that advances Malaysia’s ambition to strengthen industrial capabilities and accelerate the development of future-ready energy infrastructure.
In line with the evolving energy landscape, the collaboration between TAMCO and Hoymiles seeks to strengthen Malaysia’s capabilities in deploying and supporting utility-scale energy storage solutions. Beyond local assembly, the partnership encompasses system integration, testing, commissioning, servicing and long-term maintenance, while progressively expanding into technical knowledge exchange, specialist talent development and localisation initiatives. Together, these efforts will reinforce Malaysia's industrial capabilities and position the country as a regional hub for advanced energy infrastructure.
