FROM THE EDITOR

Southeast Asia is on the cusp of major renewable energy advances, with 154GW of additional capacity planned for the next five years. If achieved, these developments could offset 55GW of coal power annually, meeting 70% of the region’s electricity needs by 2030. While this is a promising outlook, ASEAN countries still face the challenge of reducing reliance on coal-fired power plants while transitioning to renewable energy sources.

In this issue, we discuss the progress made in Cambodia towards electrifying villages and transitioning to renewable energy sources. Leader Energy CEO Gan Boon Hean shares his insights into the company’s efforts to explore untapped renewable energy sources and Cambodia’s ambitious journey towards sustainability in an interview on page 14.

Dr. Zulfikar Yurnaidi of the ASEAN Centre for Energy sheds light on these critical findings and their implications in an interview on page 16.
