Executive summary – Integrating Solar and Wind
Integrating Solar and Wind in Southeast Asia - Analysis and key findings. A report by the International Energy Agency.
Positioned near the equator, Southeast Asia's solar irradiance levels was up 10 per cent in 2023, highlighting the region's potential for solar energy advancement. Southeast Asia's total solar and wind energy generation have surged from 4.2 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2015 to over 50 TWh in 2022.
Southeast Asia's total solar and wind energy generation have surged from 4.2 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2015 to over 50 TWh in 2022. To put this into perspective, just 1 TWh could power about 10 billion 100-watt lightbulbs simultaneously. Looking ahead, ASEAN leaders have set ambitious goals for the region's energy future.
The effectiveness of these systems depends on solar irradiation levels which measure the intensity of sunlight. Positioned near the equator, Southeast Asia's solar irradiance levels was up 10 per cent in 2023, highlighting the region's potential for solar energy advancement.
Asia's growing energy demand has often been framed through the lens of its coal, gas or nuclear dependence, but solar power is growing rapidly across the region. Over the last decade China, India, South Korea, Viet Nam and Japan have significantly increased the share of solar power in their respective energy mixes.
