Overview of Microgrids with Renewable Energy in ASEAN
In Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, a feasibility study was conducted to investigate the potential of solar power generation with storage batteries to lower dependency on diesel power generation.
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.
The estimated cumulative potential capacity from solar PV available across the ASEAN member states less than or equal to $246 USD/MWh is approximately 42 TW. The estimated cumulative wind potential capacity across the region less than or equal to $221 USD/MWh is approximately 1.8 TW (Moderate Technical Potential Scenario).
The ASEAN region has 27 GW of solar and 6.8 GW of wind installed capacity in 2022, representing less than 1% of the approximately 30,523 GW of solar and 1,383 GW of wind theoretical potential estimated by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL).
The results of this analysis show there is abundant potential for land-based wind and solar PV development in the ASEAN member states at a range of generation costs. Under the Moderate Technical Potential Scenario, potential solar PV capacity exceeds 41 TW (or 59,386 TWh annually), with an LCOE from $64 to $246 USD/MWh across the region.
