The Asia-Pacific region is at the forefront of the global renewable energy revolution, with solar power leading the way. The top solar energy projects in this region not only demonstrate the immense potential of solar power but also highlight the commitment of various countries to sustainable energy solutions.
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.
