The sector requires US$6.2 trillion by 2060 under Asean’s coordinated transition scenario, but high financing costs threaten progress, found a new study by the Asean Centre for Energy.
Rising electricity demand from data centres is putting pressure on the country to expand generation and grid capacity, but shorter-term commitments from some operators could make it harder to recover the cost of those investments, said the country’s energy regulator.

Companies in East Asia and the Pacific used the most electricity but sourced only 18.5 per cent from renewables, versus 68 per cent in North America, the International Telecommunication Union found.
