Southeast Asia’s EVs displace USD 560 Million in oil imports in six months
Rising EV adoption across Southeast Asia is reducing dependence on imported oil, with Vietnam emerging as a regional frontrunner, according to new analysis.
ASEAN is getting closer to a power grid deal. Here’s a look at what’s still missing
ASEAN Power Grid makes political progress, but unresolved subsea cable rules, Indonesia’s export terms and financing gaps threaten implementation.
ASEAN advances energy security as experts urge faster clean energy shift
ASEAN energy ministers have made new commitments on power trade, data transparency and oil security. Experts say more action is needed - faster - after a year of fuel price shocks.
At ASEAN Energy Forum, gas industry and regional planners draw different lessons from Hormuz
ASEAN’s gas demand could nearly quadruple even under its most ambitious energy transition scenario, raising concerns over long-term dependence and energy security.
Thailand’s new power plan raises gas capacity despite LNG shock, drawing criticism
Thailand’s draft power plan would add 9.1 GW of gas-fired capacity by 2037, equivalent to...
Six Months Into Energy Emergency, Philippines’ Rooftop Solar Surges but Barely Taps Its Potential
Six months after the Philippines declared a State of Energy Emergency, rooftop solar installations are...
Amid Global Electrification Push, Bangladesh Highlights Need for Solar in Developing Countries
As calls grow for greater electrification and a shift away from fossil fuels, Bangladesh showcases the urgency for developing countries of investing in renewables and grid updates.
Asia’s LNG Growth Model Faces a Structural Demand Problem, Experts Say
LNG demand destruction in Asia predates the Iran conflict. Analysts say USD 400 billion in committed gas infrastructure capital faces stranding as renewable costs fall and corporate demand for clean power accelerates.
LNG Struggles to Deliver Stable Power for Asia’s Data Center Boom
As hyperscalers expand server capacity across Asia, LNG has been promoted as a reliable source of round-the-clock power for digital infrastructure. Six months of disruption around the Strait of Hormuz have challenged that argument. Asia-Pacific's data center pipeline has surpassed 26,000 MW, but at current prices LNG-fired generation costs USD 212 per MWh — more than five times the global average cost of solar power.
Asia Reassesses LNG Reliance After Six Months of Hormuz Disruption
When energy planners across Asia assessed the risks of LNG dependence, a major geopolitical supply disruption was often treated as a tail risk. Six months of disruption around the Strait of Hormuz have changed that. Asian LNG demand has fallen for two consecutive years, 47 proposed power plants worth USD 52 billion have been cancelled or stalled, and the fiscal strain is spreading from energy bills into currency markets and public finances.
Foreign Investment in Bangladesh: Powering Renewable Energy
Introducing policy reforms to address existing barriers, de-risk projects, incentivise developers and improve investor confidence remains key for accelerating Bangladesh's clean energy transition and strengthening its energy security.
What Keeps Halting Bangladesh’s Solar Revolution
Experts warn that Bangladesh’s energy crisis will persist without a decisive shift toward renewable energy. While the political rhetoric for accelerating solar energy deployment to enhance energy security and affordability is growing stronger, structural and institutional barriers threaten to delay progress.
Can Untapped Rooftop Solar Energy Help the Power-stressed Visayas?
Weeks of power disruptions across the Visayas, Philippines, have exposed the economic and social costs of relying on large, centralised coal plants. Experts state that accelerating rooftop solar could significantly alleviate the power supply crisis by offering an immediate, decentralised alternative.
