ASEAN, still largely dependent on fossil fuels, plans to increase the share of solar and wind energy in its power mix to 23% by 2030, up from 4% currently. To enable this shift,
As the leading Onshore Offshore Wind and Energy Storage event platform in APAC, you can meet key existing/prospect project developers, partners, investors and vendors in the region.
Instead of using an actual battery, for the utility to store the prosumers'' energy at a lower cost, this paper proposes a concept called a co-located power plant (CLPP), made of existing
A new wind battery storage project is slated to further power Cambodia''s clean energy journey, with Minister of Mines and Energy Keo Rottanak unveiling the energy project in Kampong
Data from the Global Solar and Wind Power Trackers show that ASEAN countries have grown their utility-scale solar and wind capacity 20% in the last year to over 28 GW.

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.
“In ASEAN, a stronger and interconnected grid can create a robust renewable energy market, connecting countries, uplifting communities, and bringing clean energy to the darkest corners. “Grid upgrade, coupled with clean flexibility tools can better prepare ASEAN for a renewables-based future.”
The ASEAN region also boasts almost five times more prospective offshore wind power (124 GW) than onshore, which amounts to nearly twice the current offshore operating capacity worldwide (69 GW).
And as solar is abundant in all AMSs, it is incumbent upon ASEAN to deploy large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) with battery storage, which this study accordingly thoroughly analyzes, as previously mentioned.
