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.
Will Southeast Asia meet the combined wind and solar share target?
For this report, we calculate capacity additions required in Southeast Asia to meet the combined wind and solar share target of 23% by 2030, set out in the IEA NZE scenario. We estimate the required electricity generation by 2030, using ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) average annual electricity growth rate projection of 5.8%.
Why do Southeast Asian countries need stronger policy support?
Southeast Asian nations require stronger policy support to stimulate solar and wind development, creating a more dynamic demand and supply for clean energy. Average annual growth in ASEAN’s solar and wind generation between 2015 and 2022 Year-on year increase in wind generation across ASEAN from 2021 to 2022
How much solar power does the ASEAN region have in 2022?
The ASEAN region has 27 GW of solar and 6.8 GW of wind installed capacity in 2022, representing less than 1% of the approximately 30,523 GW of solar and 1,383 GW of wind theoretical potential estimated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
Can Southeast Asia achieve universal access to electricity?
Southeast Asia is no exception: the region is on the way to achieve universal access to electricity by largely banking on hydroelectricity and fossil fuels 1. Aside from CO 2 emissions, a major concern for this energy policy is the socio-environmental externalities of hydropower development.
How many solar power plants are there in Southeast Asia?
Figure 8 A shows the distribution of solar, wind, and hydropower plants in Southeast Asia and their generating capacity. There are 246 solar power plants that were compared using the root mean square error (RMSE) and R 2.
