Is Sunny Southeast Asia a good place to invest in solar energy?
Sunny Southeast Asia has made significant strides in solar energy, with solar farm capacity exceeding 20GW across ASEAN countries. Despite this rapid growth and ambitious renewable goals, nations in the region face diverse challenges.
The South East Asia region is an emerging photovoltaic market at its early-stage growth. ASEAN countries are expected to have substantial growth in solar PV deployment. The PV market in the ASEAN region has not evolved into a solid, self-sustaining PV market. Hence there is a necessity for policies and support mechanisms in ASEAN countries. Fig. 1.
Are solar PV policies underutilized in South East Asian countries?
South East Asian countries are blessed with abundant solar energy potential. Yet, the solar photovoltaic potential remains underutilized. There are certain roadblocks in the progress of solar PV deployment in ASEAN. This paper aims to investigate the solar PV policies in the ASEAN region over the past decade.
Over the past decade, slow growth was observed in some ASEAN countries such as Brunei, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar. The variation of installed capacity of Solar PV in ASEAN member states is shown in Table 1. It is interesting to observe the variation in solar PV development in the ASEAN region.
SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Southeast Asia is accelerating plans to harness energy from the sun in coming years as the cost of generating electricity from some solar power projects has become more affordable than gas-fired plants, officials and analysts said.
