Tamco to assemble Hoymiles Battery Energy Storage Solutions in Shah Alam

KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 — Local power infrastructure solutions provider Tamco Switchgear will soon begin the assembly of Hoymiles Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) solutions at its facility at Shah Alam. It will mark the start of Tamco and Hoymiles strategic partnership that aims to support Malaysia’s future energy infrastructure through a synergy of local industrial expertise and global energy storage technologies.

The partnership came right at the time where Malaysia is working to diversify its energy mix under the National Energy Transition Roadmap (NETR) in order to support long-term energy security and economic growth.

Originally established in 1966 to support tin mining industry, Tamco has been providing power infrastructure solutions to major energy companies such as Tenaga Nasional and Petronas for over 35 years. The company has since expanded its reach to global markets and it has deployed more than 300,000 switchgear units worldwide alongside 2,300 substations in Malaysia, Dubai and Australia.

From a humble beginning at Zhejiang University in 2012 with a renovated bathhouse as its first office, Hoymiles has since grown into a global clean energy solution provider, specializing in module-level inverters and storage systems. Recognised as a BloombergNEF’s Tier 1 Global Energy Storage Manufacturer and recipient of the EcoVadis Gold Medal for sustainability, Hoymiles products are currently being deployed at over 190 countries and regions.

According to the CEO of Tamco Switchgear, Wong Jun Pin, this collaboration allows the company to expand its energy solutions portfolio by incorporating globally deployed energy storage technologies.

The partnership between Tamco and Hoymiles also aims to deliver greater local accessibility and technical support for large-scale energy storage projects within Malaysia.

Tamco – Hoymiles partnership goes beyond the assembly line

Under the first phase of the partnership, Tamco will undertake the local assembly of the Hoymiles’ utility-scale 5MWh and 6MWh AI-enhanced liquid-cooled BESS. However, the collaboration is not limited to just assembly operation.

It will also involve system integration, testing, commissioning, servicing and long-term maintenance, while at the same time, both companies will also work on technical knowledge exchange, specialist talent development and localisation initiatives. — SoyaCincau
