The government expects electricity consumption to rise 2.5 per cent annually through 2035 and plans nearly 26 GW of new thermal capacity to meet demand.
The 2025 surge is less a return to resource-buying than a shift towards construction-led industrial infrastructure and selective financing.
A new analysis by climate coalitions finds that 83 per cent of Indonesian executives want the government to step up investment in grid capacity and connectivity, while 89 per cent of Filipino executives say policy is lagging behind business electrification, despite Indonesia’s renewables push and the Philippines’ rapidly expanding clean energy pipeline.
The Iran war is driving a significant near-term surge in Asia-Pacific’s thermal coal demand, with an additional 150 million tonnes of cumulative consumption projected through 2030, roughly half of which is expected to land in 2026 alone.

The war in the Gulf has unleashed powerful market forces that the rest of the world can harness to accelerate electrification and keep the Paris climate agreement's primary objectives on track. Doing so will not only mitigate climate change, but also strengthen economic resilience worldwide.
If the war in Iran does not end soon, the Malaysian government must have more arrows in its energy policy quiver.
The Iran war has reminded everyone, but especially Africans, of the structural instability of fossil-fuel prices. For African trustees, directors, asset managers, and other fiduciaries, the question is not whether capital should reposition, but whether institutions will act before events compel them to do so.
While tensions around the Strait of Hormuz are rattling global oil markets, energy security is no longer defined solely by access to fossil fuels. What China has understood, and Europe has not, is that security now depends on electricity systems that can deliver low-cost power at scale and support heavy industry.

The action comes despite the oil giant suing the environmental group for US$2.1 million after demonstrators boarded the company’s vessel at the Atlantic Ocean in January.
In the video, environmental law group ClientEarth compares the oil and gas giant's advertisements on its low-carbon investments to a burger chain claiming that they’re vegan because they’ve got salad on the menu.
Automakers are touting overseas investments in electric vehicles, even as they lobby for lower fuel standards in the United States.
DONG Energy’s shift to 100 per cent renewable energy marks another important step in the global transition away from fossil fuels.

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.
The ESG head of the Philippine power company arm tells the EB Podcast that sustainability needs to be communicated not as a “progressive idea” but a business strategy that benefits the bottom line.
The oil and gas sector needs to cut operational emissions faster, Charlotte Wolff-Bye tells the Eco-Business podcast. But slashing fuel output won’t do for the Asian supplier, and it welcomes respectful debate at the climate summit.
Eco-Business talks to Peter Kiernan, lead energy analyst for the Economist Intelligence Unit, to unpack a new landmark report from the International Energy Agency, which proposes an immediate ban on fossil fuels extraction to curb global warming.
