Bangkok, Thailand, 13 December, 2017 - Southeast Asia at an energy crossroads: The Southeast Asian region risks exposure to stranded assets from coal-power expansion and losing out on an estimated USD 1 trillion clean energy opportunity. South Pole's latest report assesses shifting energy landscape of Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The key findings show that the addition of new, coal-based power capacity would lock Southeast Asia into a high energy cost scenario, and create substantial stranded assets that risk negatively affecting sovereign credit ratings and reducing the future prosperity of citizens. At the same time, the estimated low-carbon investment potential in the region is close to USD 1 trillion, and offers engagement opportunities for project developers, technology suppliers and investors in several sectors.
