GoRental Recognised by ASEAN Records for First and Longest Three-Quay River Festival Deployment of Portable Battery Energy Storage Systems Across Ten Consecutive Days

ASEAN Records is proud to officially recognise GoRental, for its deployment at Singapore River Festival 2026, for achieving the milestone:

First and Longest Three-Quay River Festival Deployment of Portable Battery Energy Storage Systems Across Ten Consecutive Days (approx. 1,600 kWh modelled from per-segment metered discharge; 62 battery units; 10 consecutive days; 11–20 September 2026)

This achievement reflects GoRental’s ability to deploy portable battery energy storage at scale across a multi-location festival, demonstrating a cleaner and quieter alternative to conventional temporary power infrastructure across the ASEAN region.

Powering Three Quays Across Ten Consecutive Days

GoRental’s deployment supported Singapore River Festival 2026, which brought activities and experiences across Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay from 11 to 20 September 2026.

Across the ten-day festival period, 62 portable battery units were deployed to support temporary power requirements throughout the river precinct.

Based on per-segment metered discharge, the deployment was modelled at approximately 1,600 kWh, demonstrating how portable Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) can be coordinated across multiple locations within a large-scale outdoor festival environment.

Replacing Conventional Temporary Power with Cleaner Energy

Incorporated in 2017, GoRental SG focuses on replacing conventional diesel-generator dependence with portable and mobile clean-energy battery solutions.

Rather than operating as a traditional equipment rental provider, GoRental positions itself as a green technology partner, combining portable battery hardware, energy management, and on-ground operational expertise to deliver dependable temporary power.

Its battery-based model helps reduce the noise, exhaust, and emissions associated with diesel generators while providing event organisers with a more flexible approach to temporary energy deployment.

Through the Singapore River Festival 2026 deployment, GoRental demonstrated how BESS technology can support extended event operations across several locations while remaining adaptable to different power requirements.

Advancing BESS Deployment for Events and Public Spaces

The achievement highlights the increasing role of portable battery systems in supporting events, public activations, and temporary commercial environments.

By deploying 62 battery units across three quays for ten consecutive days, GoRental demonstrated how decentralised energy infrastructure can be coordinated across an active urban precinct.

The milestone supports GoRental’s wider mission of making clean temporary power more dependable, intelligent, and accessible wherever energy is required.

A Milestone Moment of Recognition

The ASEAN Records certificate was officially presented on 11 September 2026 at CQ @ Clarke Quay Fountain Square, Singapore.

The recognition was received on stage by Colin Peh, Co-Founder of GoRental Global; Teo Ser Foong, Head of Growth of GB Helios; and Aston Chia, Marketing and Partnerships Manager of GoRental Global, representing the collaboration and operational expertise behind the record-setting deployment at Singapore River Festival 2026.

The presentation was witnessed by Guest-of-Honour Mr Foo Cexiang, Minister of State, Ministry of Manpower & Ministry of Trade and Industry.

Voices of Leadership

Reflecting on the recognition, Colin Peh, Co-Founder of GoRental Global, shared:

“This achievement demonstrates that portable battery energy storage can support major events across multiple locations and over an extended operating period.

For GoRental, the goal has always been bigger than simply supplying equipment. We want to provide practical clean-energy infrastructure that organisations can rely on without the noise, exhaust, and emissions associated with conventional diesel generators.

This ASEAN Records recognition encourages us to continue expanding cleaner temporary power solutions for events, businesses, and communities across the region.”

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.”
