SynVista Marks Clean Energy Milestone with Malaysia Launch, Philippines Seminar

SynVista Energy has announced the upcoming launch of Malaysia’s first international energy storage manufacturing facility in Selangor—marking a major milestone in Southeast Asia’s clean energy journey.

To celebrate this announcement, SynVista hosted the SynVista Energy Storage Full Lifecycle Summit: Delivering End-to-End Solutions from Planning to Operation at JW Marriott Hotel Kuala Lumpur on 1 July 2025. The summit was officiated by Tengku Laksamana Selangor, Tengku Sulaiman Shah Alhaj Ibni Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Alhaj, Honorary Chairman of SynVista Energy. Other distinguished guests included Zalina Zainol, Deputy CEO of the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA); Ir. Justin Sim, President of the Malaysian Photovoltaic and Sustainable Energy Industry Association (MPSEA); and Owen Chen, Chairman of SynVista Holdings.

The Selangor manufacturing plant, now under construction, is expected to achieve an annual production capacity of 5GWh by end-2025. This facility will anchor SynVista’s regional supply chain, create high-value employment opportunities, and support Southeast Asia’s clean energy transition through advanced battery storage solutions.

“This is more than a regional presence—it’s a transformative leap forward,” said Owen Chen, Chairman of SynVista Holdings. “Malaysia offers the ideal ecosystem for clean energy innovation, and SynVista is proud to pioneer energy storage manufacturing in Selangor.”

Following the Malaysia summit, SynVista extended its regional impact by hosting a high-level seminar in the Philippines to further promote clean energy collaboration across ASEAN. The SynVista Energy Storage Full Lifecycle Seminar was held in Manila on 3 July 2025, bringing together top energy experts, policymakers, and industry leaders to accelerate the adoption of battery energy storage systems in the country.

The seminar was opened by Mr. Ping Mendoza, President of the Philippine Photovoltaic and Storage Energy Alliance (PPSEA), who delivered a message on the importance of regional synergy in advancing renewable and storage solutions. This was followed by a keynote presentation titled “Renewable Energy Development in the Philippines” delivered by Edward V. Neri, OIC-Division Chief of the Solar Energy Management Division at the DOE-Renewable Energy Management Bureau. In his talk, Mr. Neri highlighted the critical role of battery storage in enabling the country’s shift to clean energy.
