Southeast Asia is emerging as a global economic powerhouse, attracting record levels of foreign investment and experiencing surging electricity demand. With abundant renewable energy resources and growing interest from investors, the region is well-positioned for a rapid scale-up of solar and wind power. While several countries are making strides, there is significant untapped potential for further growth. 

In response, Agora Energiewende, NewClimate Institute and the Energy Research Institute (ERI) Thailand have developed a new report under the Clean, Affordable, and Secure Energy System in Southeast Asia (CASE) project – in collaboration with GIZ, who leads the consortium. 

The report, Electricity market designs in Southeast Asia: Harnessing opportunities for renewable energy growth in Indonesia, Thailand, Viet Nam, and the Philippines, highlights key market and regulatory opportunities to accelerate solar and wind power deployment in ASEAN’s leading economies – outlining strategies to enhance investment certainty in renewables, unlock system flexibility, and reorganise power systems to deliver clean, affordable electricity. 

In this webinar, we will present the report’s key findings and examine their implications for each of the four countries. The session will kick off with a presentation of the report, followed by a panel discussion featuring country experts, including Alberto Dalasung III (ICSC, the Philippines) and Dr. Phimsupha Kokchang (ERI Chulalongkorn University Thailand), along with other distinguished panellists. 

The event will last one hour and thirty minutes and includes a Q&A session.
