Keppel and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) have partnered to facilitate up to US$1.5 billion in sustainable infrastructure investments across Asia-Pacific by 2030. The five-year collaboration will target green, tech-enabled projects in energy, transport, and urban services, addressing the region’s growing infrastructure needs amid rapid urbanization and digitalization.
Việt Nam is advancing its energy transition with strong offshore wind potential of 600GW—the highest in Southeast Asia. The updated Power Development Plan (PDP8) prioritizes renewables, energy storage, and green fuels. While challenges remain in grid upgrades and energy security, digitalization and international cooperation offer critical opportunities for sustainable growth.
The Philippines’ Department of Energy has launched its Fifth Green Energy Auction (GEA-5), focusing solely on fixed-bottom offshore wind. With a target of 3,300 MW and delivery scheduled between 2028 and 2030, GEA-5 aims to build a strong foundation for the offshore wind sector using proven, scalable technology.
Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam have signed a Joint Development Agreement to explore exporting renewable electricity from Vietnam's offshore wind resources to Malaysia and Singapore via submarine cables, advancing ASEAN's regional energy integration goal.
New U.S. tariffs on Chinese solar components threaten to disrupt Vietnam’s clean energy ambitions, as many of its solar exports rely on Chinese materials. The article examines how these trade measures could raise costs, delay projects, and hinder the country’s energy transition plans.
Vietnam has cut LNG import tariffs from 5% to 2% to attract investment and support its energy transition. The move boosts LNG-to-power projects under PDP8, but policy gaps, financing hurdles, and regulatory uncertainties persist. Industry leaders call for comprehensive legal reforms to ensure long-term LNG development and energy security.
Malaysia’s Ministry of Energy Transition has launched the CREAM program to enable rooftop solar aggregation through community leasing to developers. Managed by local aggregators and transmitted via TNB’s grid, the initiative supports decentralized clean energy without raising tariffs and aligns with Malaysia’s renewable energy targets for 2035 and 2050.
The U.S. has imposed record-high tariffs on solar panels from Cambodia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia, with rates up to 3,521%. These measures disproportionately impact smaller Southeast Asian manufacturers and workers, while larger Chinese firms had already relocated operations to avoid such penalties.
