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.
With abundant solar potential across the region, Southeast Asia has made initial progress in solar PV adoption, with over 35 GW installed at the end of 2024. Viet Nam has emerged as the regional leader in solar PV, representing 61% of the total regional capacity, followed by Thailand (11%) and the Philippines (10%).
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.
Solar PV expansion will increasingly create flexibility challenges across Southeast Asia in the coming years. With abundant solar potential across the region, Southeast Asia has made initial progress in solar PV adoption, with over 35 GW installed at the end of 2024.
