Get a quoteNew analysis by the International Energy Agency (IEA) indicates that the share of solar and wind energy in the power generation mix in Southeast Asian countries must reach approximately 23% by 2030 to align with the 2050 Net Zero Emission (NZE) scenario. Combined solar and wind generation in ASEAN grew from 4.2 TWh to 50 TWh between 2015 and 2022.
Vietnam has by far the most utility-scale solar and wind capacity of all the ASEAN nations, as seen in the chart below. Operating utility-scale solar (dark blue) and wind (red) across ASEAN countries. Brunei, Laos and Timor-Leste have been excluded, as they currently have no operating utility-scale solar or wind generation. Source: GEM.
For this report, we calculate capacity additions required in Southeast Asia to meet the combined wind and solar share target of 23% by 2030, set out in the IEA NZE scenario. We estimate the required electricity generation by 2030, using ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) average annual electricity growth rate projection of 5.8%.
Figure 8 A shows the distribution of solar, wind, and hydropower plants in Southeast Asia and their generating capacity. There are 246 solar power plants, 7 wind power plants, and 214 hydropower plants that were compared using the root mean square error (RMSE) and R 2.
The highest energy potential produced by solar panels occurred in October (21.386 GWp), whereas the lowest was in April (2.087 GWp). Figure 3 b shows the wind energy potential for 12 months in Southeast Asia. The generated power varied each month and was mainly influenced by wind speed.
Figure 3 b shows the wind energy potential for 12 months in Southeast Asia. The generated power varied each month and was mainly influenced by wind speed. The maximum power generated was 400 W/m 2 in the highest class, assuming a wind height of 100 m.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 350% in the past three years. Energy storage cabinets and lithium battery solutions now account for approximately 40% of all new commercial energy installations worldwide.
