ASEAN solar Power Generation System

Will solar energy be a mainstay in Asean's energy mix?

In Malaysia, the introduction of the Net Energy Metering and tax allowances serve as catalysts for solar PV installation, while government-led tariff adjustments further propel the adoption of solar energy. These concerted efforts show how solar energy is set to be a mainstay in ASEAN’s energy mix for decades to come.

What are ASEAN's energy goals?

Looking ahead, ASEAN leaders have set ambitious goals for the region’s energy future. At the 43rd ASEAN Summit last year, member states committed to achieve 23 per cent renewable energy share in the region’s total energy mix, as well as 35 per cent renewable energy share in installed power capacity – both by 2025.

What is the role of the electricity grid in ASEAN?

“The role of the grid is more than just moving electricity,” said Dr Dinita Setyawati, an Ember senior energy analyst and the report’s lead author. “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.

Why do governments need to regulate rooftop solar systems in ASEAN?

Regardless to the system, optimizing the use of solar rooftops is a great way to generate clean energy thus achieve renewable energy goals. For those reasons, governments across the region (ASEAN) needs to maintain appropriate policy and regulation to boost the installation of rooftop solar systems. 2.3. Floating PV module
