Swelect Energy Systems has partnered with FortifyGrid LLC to establish a joint venture focused on developing solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in Singapore and across the ASEAN region.

The JV will be set up through Swelect’s Singapore-based subsidiary and will operate as a 50:50 partnership between the two companies. The initiative aims to design, develop and deploy integrated solar and energy storage solutions, supporting the growing demand for reliable and dispatchable renewable energy.

The collaboration will focus on engineering, procurement, construction and project management services, including system design, cost optimisation and operational planning. By combining Swelect’s experience in solar manufacturing and project execution with FortifyGrid’s expertise in grid infrastructure and energy storage, the partnership aims to strengthen capabilities in hybrid renewable solutions.

Singapore is expected to serve as a strategic hub for the JV’s regional expansion, with a broader focus on ASEAN markets where demand for battery storage is increasing alongside renewable energy deployment. The platform will support grid stability and enable better integration of intermittent solar generation through storage-backed solutions.
