Spent batteries from older electric vehicles are starting to pile up, but a handful of companies are repurposing them in a novel way: as energy storage for the grid.

Singapore and Indonesia’s latest push to trade low-carbon electricity could become more than a bilateral energy deal, with analysts saying it might offer Southeast Asia a practical test case for a regional power grid that has long struggled to move from ambition to implementation.

Malay­sia’s next energy trans­ition chal­lenge is man­aging a more com­plex elec­tri­city sys­tem after more than a dec­ade of expand­ing renew­able energy (RE) capa­city, with stronger grid infra­struc­ture and energy stor­age becom­ing more crit­ical as solar pen­et­ra­tion rises.

Consumers are urged to familiarise themselves with the Automatic Fuel Adjustment (AFA) mechanism to better understand changes in their electricity bills and plan their monthly household expenses
