SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Southeast Asia is accelerating plans to harness energy from the sun in coming years as the cost of generating electricity from some solar power projects has become more affordable than gas-fired plants, officials and analysts said.
The minimum LCOE in the region is $64 USD/MWh, and the median LCOE for the region is $111 USD/MWh. The ranges in this supply curve correspond to the colors mapped across Southeast Asia in Figure 6. Figure 7. Solar PV supply curve for Southeast Asia—Moderate Technical Potential Scenario.
The estimated LCOE for solar PV generation ranged from S99 to $200 USD/MWh, and the LCOE for wind generation was approximately $150 USD/MWh in 2018 in ASEAN member states (ACE 2019). Barriers based on the wind and solar PV resource data and techno-economic assumptions used in this analysis.
In Southeast Asia, electricity generation in the Solar Energy market is projected to reach 41.14bn kWh in 2025. An annual growth rate of 1.46% is anticipated during the period from 2025 to 2029 (CAGR 2025-2029).
With further technology improvements and new drivers that include utility business models, competitive procurement, and implementation of best practices in project development, generation costs for renewables—including solar PV and wind—may continue to fall in Southeast Asia.
It is acknowledged that the actual technology costs in each country and for every system will vary. The Low Installed Cost Scenario assumes solar PV and wind installed costs at $1,000 USD/kW and $1,500 USD/kW, respectively.
