Southeast Asia''s PV market to drive global energy transition
PV has become a key driver for Southeast Asia''s renewable energy development amid global net-zero emissions trend, due to the region''s abundant sunlight, rapid economic growth, and
Solar photovoltaics (PV) play a pivotal role renewable energy revolution of Southeast Asia. Abundant sunlight, economic growth, and the rising demand for clean energy drive this shift. Vietnam and the Philippines dominate the solar and wind capacity projections of South-east Asia, contributing 80 percent of the anticipated utility-scale projects.
Presently, ASEAN boasts 28 GW of large utility-scale solar and wind power, contributing 9 percent to the region's total electricity capacity. Solar photovoltaics (PV) play a pivotal role renewable energy revolution of Southeast Asia. Abundant sunlight, economic growth, and the rising demand for clean energy drive this shift.
Moreover, it is forecasted that the Southeast Asia region is going to install another 27 GW of PV capacity between 2021 and 2025 . The development and government support toward PV system installation has been summarized the Table 1 below. Fig. 2. ASEAN market cumulative PV system installation in 2022 . Table 1.
InfoLink projects that PV demand in Southeast Asia will reach 4.5-7.4 GW in 2024, with long-term demand likely growing to 9.7-12.9 GW, suggesting that the Southeast Asian PV market will maintain steady growth in the coming years, becoming a key player in the global energy transition.
