This year’s report examines the critical bottlenecks to the region’s green growth, such as system constraints and policy uncertainty.

The report proposes how Southeast Asia can:

• Build power delivery infrastructure fast enough to absorb the influx of energy demand and capital; and
• Move from being an Electric Vehicle (EV) end market to become an integrated production and supply chain hub.

The report lays out a sequencing approach for companies to capture near-term demand within current system constraints while building the infrastructure needed for long-term scale. This could potentially unlock an additional US$80 billion in investment by 2030.

As the region works together to effect real change in the green economy, Singapore is actively supporting project conversion. With its progressive climate governance frameworks and its status as a regional and finance hub, it can serve as the anchor buyer for cross-border electricity and as a coordination node for the EV ecosystem.
