Artifical intelligence can help Asia-Pacific’s grids adapt by integrating different data for operators to make quicker, better-informed decisions, just as the region grapples with both volatile renewables growth and mounting climate extremes, found a new Ember study.

Firms based in France and Singapore claimed the top prizes at the ninth edition of the global innovation competition, backed by Temasek Foundation with new support from Singapore government agency A*Star.

Out of the green capital expenditure announced across the region between now and 2030, only around US$315 billion is on a credible path to deployment, as energy security eclipses climate goals, found a report by Bain & Company.

The new data from Zero Carbon Analytics emerge just as the Philippines, under an energy emergency, staggers fuel hikes to soften inflation from the Middle East conflict.

Studio EB Critical to the country’s energy security in the 1970s, geothermal is now re-emerging as the Philippines’ biggest clean energy advantage at a time when countries are seeking reliable, round-the-clock renewable power, says Francis Giles B. Puno, president and chief operating officer of First Gen Corporation.

Southeast Asian energy ministers will meet in October to discuss the future of the region’s power grid. GEAPP’s Kitty Bu tells the Eco-Business podcast what areas they must collaborate on, and how finance and industry can help.

In the first of a podcast series featuring Southeast Asia's clean energy entrepreneurs, the CEO of Gurin Energy says that Asean countries will be left behind in artificial intelligence and robotics if the region does not connect its grid and deploy renewables at speed and scale.
