4 FAQs about Southeast asia solar solar-powered communication cabinet wind power

Can solar and wind energy meet Southeast Asia's growing electricity demand?

The International Energy Agency's latest report says solar and wind energy are well placed to meet Southeast Asia's growing electricity demand. It adds that while additional deployment will create flexibility challenges, most countries in the region can integrate more solar and wind energy without requiring major system changes.

How much solar & wind energy is in Southeast Asia?

New analysis by the International Energy Agency (IEA) indicates that the share of solar and wind energy in the power generation mix in Southeast Asian countries must reach approximately 23% by 2030 to align with the 2050 Net Zero Emission (NZE) scenario. Combined solar and wind generation in ASEAN grew from 4.2 TWh to 50 TWh between 2015 and 2022.

Is Southeast Asia ready for solar & wind?

IEA's report says Southeast Asia is well positioned to meet this surging demand using variable renewable energy (VRE) sources of solar and wind. It adds that there is 20 TW of untapped solar and wind potential across the region, around 55 times the region's current total generation capacity.

Which country produces the most solar power in ASEAN?

Thailand is one of the largest producers of utility-scale solar and wind power in ASEAN, with over 3 GW of renewable capacity. Two-thirds of this capacity comes from onshore wind power. Thailand's national energy targets include 10 GW of solar and 4 GW of wind in operation by 2030 and net zero emissions goals for 2065.
