On 18–19 September 2025, Delta Electronics partnered with the organisers of the Charging & Battery ASEAN Technical Conference to bring the Singapore edition to its Kallang Junction office. The Battery & EV Conference brought together leaders, experts, and stakeholders across the battery, charging, and e-mobility sectors to share insights, build connections, and chart the path forward for energy systems in ASEAN.
The event opened with an address by David Leal, Vice President, Strategic Alliance & Development (Southeast Asia), at Delta Electronics, who spoke about the company’s mission to advance clean energy solutions that address the region’s fast-growing power demands. For instance, in Singapore, EV adoption continues to rise, with electric vehicles accounting for about 41 percent of new car registrations this year; a surge driven by the government’s target to achieve a cleaner-energy vehicle population by 2040.
He highlighted how Delta’s expertise in EV charging, renewable integration, and energy storage positions the company to support Southeast Asia’s transition to sustainable mobility and resilient power infrastructure. David also emphasised that collaboration across the ecosystem will be key to meeting the rising demand for electrification and ensuring a greener energy future.
To that end, despite elevated geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, the International Energy Agency reports that total energy sector investment is set to rise to USD 3.3 trillion in 2025, with about USD 2.2 trillion directed toward renewables, nuclear, grids, storage, low-emission fuels, efficiency, and electrification.
Building on this theme, Kevin Tom, Platform Head of Energy Infrastructure Systems at Delta, delivered a spotlight presentation titled “Beyond the Plug: Integrating EVCS, BESS, and Intelligence for Scalable Impact.”
The session explored how the convergence of EV charging stations (EVCS), battery energy storage systems (BESS), and intelligent energy management can reshape how mobility and power systems work together. With more than 3 million EV chargers delivered globally, Delta is reinforcing its position as a key leader in enabling clean mobility and resilient energy infrastructure.
Some of the key takeaways included:
- Delta’s microgrid solutions, combining solar, storage, and EVCS, which enable peak shaving, emergency backup, and smarter load balance.
- A live case study in Singapore, in partnership with SP Group, showing how integrating DeltaGrid® EMS with chargers and BESS optimises power usage and readies the site for future solar expansion.
- Introduction of the Megawatt Charging System (MCS): capable of ultra-fast charging (up to 3.75 MW) with storage support, aimed at reducing grid dependency and enabling fleet electrification and long-haul EV transport viability.
- The role of AI and data intelligence in improving grid resilience (e.g. smoothing out demand spikes, enhancing diagnostics, and integrating renewables more smoothly).
The two-day conference reinforced that Southeast Asia stands at a pivotal moment in its clean energy transition. With electrification accelerating across transport and industry, there is a clear need for intelligent, integrated systems that can connect renewable generation, storage, and consumption.
Delta remains committed to this vision and works closely with governments, utilities, and industry stakeholders to build a cleaner, smarter, and more connected energy future for Southeast Asia.
