Are solar PV and wind power a viable energy transition in ASEAN?
However, the development of renewables is still at an early stage in ASEAN, especially for solar PV and wind power. Most scenario studies suggest a high share of and even 100% renewables for energy transition in ASEAN. Solar PV is key due to its abundance across the region. Variable renewables and energy storage also play a central role.
Should energy storage be developed in the ASEAN region?
Energy storage should be developed to address the intermittency of variable renewable energy. As one alternative, the ASEAN region has enormous potential for pumped storage hydropower (ACE, 2022b).
Is there potential for land-based solar PV development in ASEAN member states?
The results of this analysis show there is abundant potential for utility-scale, land-based wind and solar PV development in the ASEAN member states at a range of generation costs.
How much does solar energy cost in ASEAN?
The estimated LCOE for solar PV generation ranged from S99 to $200 USD/MWh, and the LCOE for wind generation was approximately $150 USD/MWh in in ASEAN member states (ACE ). Barriers based on the wind and solar PV resource data and techno-economic assumptions used in this analysis.
Are FIT incentives for wind power attractive in ASEAN?
In comparison with solar PV, FIT incentives for wind power are generally not attractive in this region. Some of the target ASEAN countries began holding bidding for the development of renewable energy projects, i.e., solar PV and wind power in the Philippines and bioenergy in Thailand.
Why are solar and wind projects so expensive in Southeast Asia?
tisation of fossil generation over renewables. Despite falling costs around the world for renewable technologies, solar and wind project costs remain elevated in Southeast Asia due to lack of deployme t scale and underdevelopment of supply chains.Attracting low-cost fi
