Southeast Asia Renewable Energy

Matthew Bartley will be stepping down from his post.

The Min Luong hydropower plant has a 20-year PPA with an EVN subsidiary.

This will include the construction of a 37-kilometre transmission line.

This is driven by national oil companies and traditional upstream players.

The project forms part of the Smart Grid Pilot Project in Mae Hong Son province. 

Around $1.2b will be dedicated to the region’s solar and wind generation.

Renewables are expected to account for 67.5% to 71.5% of the total electricity by 2050.

The power will be sold to the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand.

It is set to expire on 22 February 2024.

The most influential renewable energy event in ASEAN.

The region’s reliance on fossil fuel imports threatens its energy security due to price volatility and lack of affordability.

Southeast Asia's renewables push requires more capacity to challenge coal reliance effectively,” experts said. 

The country will first focus on regional partnerships, the Ministry of Trade and Industry said. 

Solar and wind power are not reliable enough to meet Southeast Asia’s issue on power demand, Enlit Asia’s invitees said.

This comes amidst the development the Laos-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project.

The utilities sector has an important role to play in our collective transition to clean energy – one that cannot be understated: by decarbonising the production of power, it enables other industries to decarbonise through electrification. Recognising this, utilities across Southeast Asia are embracing the energy transition, and making commitments to embark on this journey in earnest.
