To facilitate investments in renewables in ASEAN, it is critical to overcoming the barriers in renewable energy legislation, energy governance, and business environment. 28 Cooperation through the ASEAN Power Grid brings economic benefits to the region as a whole, and thus improves the affordability for energy transition.
Faced with energy transition objectives, the ten countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) have technology options to decarbonize power sector. This study investigates the hypothetical decarbonization pathways for ASEAN's power sector.
Here, we present an integrated power system capacity expansion model for ASEAN over 2018–2050. The results identify different pathways by strategically pursuing renewable energy, carbon capture and sequestration, and cross-border transmission.
Diverse Energy Resources: ASEAN possesses a wide range of energy sources, from fossil fuels to renewables, but unevenly distributed across countries. Need for Regional Cooperation: Energy security and sustainability necessitate integrated planning and interconnection among ASEAN member states.
While ASEAN member states are implementing energy storage technologies, policy gaps are slowing wider adoption and hindering the full renewable energy utilisation. Notably, pumped
