Executive summary – Integrating Solar and Wind in Southeast Asia
Solar and wind are now among the most cost-competitive sources of new electricity generation, with solar PV costs falling by 90% since 2010. Harnessing even a fraction of the available
Solar energy is the heat and radiant light from the Sun that can be harnessed through technologies such as solar power (used to generate electricity) and solar thermal energy (used for applications like water heating). The Southeast Asia Solar Energy Market is segmented by technology, grid type, and end-user.
In Southeast Asia, electricity generation in the Solar Energy market is projected to reach 41.14bn kWh in 2025. An annual growth rate of 1.46% is anticipated during the period from 2025 to 2029 (CAGR 2025-2029).
While renewable technology costs in Southeast Asia remain higher than international benchmarks due to smaller markets and higher financing costs, solar and wind are becoming increasingly cost-competitive with new coal and gas across the region (particularly in the absence of fuel price subsidies).
In many Southeast Asian countries, solar PV is now among the most affordable options for new power generation and the costs appear to be continuing to fall. The scalability, modularity and declining costs of solar PV technology make it a practical and cost-effective option for both grid-connected and off-grid applications.
