AN environmental non-profit think tank has reported that the Philippines has emerged as the only country in the region that has registered a 42 percent jump in CO2 emission from coal power generation since the signing of the 2016 Paris Agreement.
By 2030 Vietnam is expected to generate 18 percent solar and wind in total, the Philippines 16.5 percent, and Thailand 9.6 percent. Malaysia and Indonesia would reach 3.4 percent and 2 percent, respectively. Ember cited the Philippines’s solar and wind power installations represent only 2.6 percent of total generation in 2021, compared to 4 percent Asean-wide and 10 percent globally. Based on the power sector development plan, the Philippines’s solar and wind share in the region will only increase to 16.5 percent by 2030.
Under current government policies, solar and wind are projected to supply only one tenth of total electricity generation in 2030. Ember Asia electricity data analyst Uni Lee said this is not nearly enough to meet the rapidly growing demand. “Rapid scaling-up of solar and wind and grid modernization is going to be a crucial piece of the puzzle to solve the climate crisis in this region.”
