4 FAQs about ASEAN supports new energy storage

Should ASEAN continue its energy transition?

If ASEAN continues its energy transition at the current pace, it risks missing out on the opportunities provided by the declining costs of wind and solar, now cheaper than fossil fuels. Between 2018 and 2022, 38 GW of renewable energy capacity was added, with about 44% coming from solar capacity growth in Viet Nam.

Does ASEAN have an Energy Transition Index?

In 2025, most ASEAN countries had achieved an energy transition index higher than the average, reflecting the region's efforts towards energy transition. One of the critical aspects of the energy transition is ensuring that the necessary infrastructure, technologies, and policies are in place to accelerate the integration of renewable energy (RE).

How much energy does ASEAN need?

At least $200 billion needs to be invested annually to generate sufficient energy to fuel the region's rapid development. At the same time, ASEAN member states geographical features and resource-based economy render them among the most vulnerable parts of the world to climate change.

What is the ASEAN Energy Outlook?

Under the ongoing global shift towards renewables, the 8th ASEAN Energy Outlook predicted that demand for jobs in the renewables sector will continue to increase, primarily in operation and maintenance. ASEAN has acknowledged that setting up a foundation for sustainable economic growth is crucial for its member states to maintain resilience.
