ASEAN Wind Power Project Energy Storage

What will ASEAN's Energy Future look like?

ASEAN’s power generation is expected to make a substantial shift towards renewable energy, particularly solar and wind, with the RAS and CNS leading this transition. Energy storage technologies, including Battery Energy Storage Systems, will play a critical role in stabilising the grid and supporting the ASEAN Power Grid.

Is ASEAN moving towards clean power?

The EMBER report finds that an increasing use of solar and wind generation by ASEAN countries, has led to a shift towards clean power. This is especially true when 99% of the wind and solar potential in ASEAN, reportedly remains untapped.

Will solar and wind help ASEAN develop a charging infrastructure?

Solar and wind may lead to new opportunities to further equip ASEAN for the development of such charging infrastructure. In addition to being a cleaner option, solar and wind are getting cheaper worldwide.

Will solar and wind help ASEAN achieve net zero?

This is especially true when 99% of the wind and solar potential in ASEAN, reportedly remains untapped. Using solar and wind would reportedly help to get on track with the IEA’s 2050 net zero scenario, 164 GW of solar and 65 GW of wind need to be installed by 2030.

How did ASEAN's solar & wind growth compare to last year?

ASEAN’s solar and wind generation rose 15% (+6.4 TWh) from 2021 to 2022. In comparison, last year’s growth was more significant at 67% (+18 TWh), driven by the rush of solar Feed-in Tariff projects completion in Viet Nam.

Are solar and wind the future of ASEAN?

Solar and wind are among the most promising technologies capable of creating new markets, fostering job creations, enabling a just energy transition and ensuring a resilient, energy-secure ASEAN. Strong policy support and government commitments are critical to driving robust action and progress in renewable deployment.
