Decarbonizing while growing: Energy Transition in Southeast Asia’s power sector

Like most countries in the world, Southeast Asia’s economies have made their own nationally determined commitments during UN climate conferences. Southeast Asia will face an uphill challenge as they embark on energy transition toward net-zero, which will take place alongside continued strong economic growth as well as electrification.
