Southeast Asia's power demand is expected to surge by over 100 TWh in four years, necessitating $200B in investments. Analysts warn of an $18B annual shortfall in grid investments by 2035, which could lead to delays and cancellations of renewable projects. In the past five years, up to 60% of renewable projects in Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia have been scrapped due to regulatory and system challenges.
