ASEAN Records is proud to officially recognise GoRental for achieving a significant regional milestone as the:
Largest Outdoor Exhibition Powered End-to-End by Portable Battery Energy Storage Systems
(992.16 kWh delivered over 36 operating hours; 82 units deployed across 55 open-air booths; ~803 kg CO₂e avoided against a diesel-generator baseline; Outdoor Expo Malaysia, 7–9 August 2026)
This achievement reflects GoRental’s commitment to advancing cleaner and more efficient temporary power solutions, demonstrating the practical potential of portable battery energy storage systems for large-scale outdoor events across the ASEAN region.
Transforming Temporary Event Power Through Battery Technology
During Outdoor Expo Malaysia 2026, held from 7 to 9 August at Titiwangsa Stadium, GoRental deployed a large-scale network of portable Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to support open-air exhibition booths and event activities throughout 36 operating hours.
The systems collectively delivered 992.16 kWh of electricity, supporting a diverse programme that included outdoor adventure showcases, climbing demonstrations, survival workshops, product launches, educational sessions, family attractions, and live stage activities.
By replacing conventional generator-dependent temporary power with portable battery systems, the deployment demonstrated that major outdoor events can operate reliably while providing a quieter and more comfortable environment for exhibitors, visitors, workers, and surrounding communities.
Reducing Diesel Reliance and Environmental Impact
Beyond operational reliability, the deployment delivered measurable environmental benefits.
Against a conventional diesel-generator baseline, the project avoided approximately 803 kg of CO₂e emissions, while also reducing the exhaust, noise, and fuel consumption normally associated with temporary generator infrastructure.
Through this approach, GoRental aims to encourage event organisers and stakeholders to consider battery-powered temporary energy as a practical alternative for events, campsites, construction environments, commercial operations, and other high-demand applications.
A Milestone Moment of Acknowledgement
The ASEAN Records certificate was officially presented on 9 August 2026 at Titiwangsa Stadium, during the closing programme of Outdoor Expo Malaysia 2026.
The recognition was received on stage by Colin Peh, Managing Director & Founder of GoRental, and was witnessed by YB Hannah Yeoh, Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, representing the company’s commitment to advancing cleaner, quieter, and more efficient temporary power solutions.
Voices of Leadership
Reflecting on the recognition, Witness Lee, Business Development Manager of GoRental, shared:
“This ASEAN Records recognition demonstrates that portable battery energy storage can support large-scale outdoor events reliably while also creating a cleaner and quieter environment.
For us, this achievement is not only about the scale of the deployment. It is about showing event organisers and businesses that there is a practical alternative to conventional diesel-powered temporary energy.
We hope this milestone encourages wider adoption of cleaner power solutions across events and industries throughout ASEAN.”
