ASEAN''s Solar PV Industry: Navigating Critical Dependencies and
Such escalating protectionist measures threaten to push up the price of ASEAN''s exports and disrupt the growth trajectory of these countries'' solar PV industry. To sustain growth and
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).
Seow added: “ASEAN is also seeking to grow its dominance in the global solar supply chain through three areas: introducing new renewable energy laws; increasing large-scale installations of solar and wind power; and installing floating solar panels.”
In Malaysia, the introduction of the Net Energy Metering and tax allowances serve as catalysts for solar PV installation, while government-led tariff adjustments further propel the adoption of solar energy. These concerted efforts show how solar energy is set to be a mainstay in ASEAN's energy mix for decades to come.
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.
