Southeast Asia Energy Outlook 2024 Summary

Core Content

The Southeast Asia Energy Outlook 2024 is the sixth edition of the IEA's regional report, highlighting the region's growing influence in the global energy landscape. Southeast Asia is projected to become one of the world's top five largest economies by 2030, with a population of over 720 million. The region is expected to account for 25% of global energy demand growth by 2035, surpassing the EU in overall consumption by 2050. However, its energy future is marked by challenges in energy security, affordability, and sustainability.

Main Points

1. Energy Demand Trends

Southeast Asia's energy demand is projected to grow significantly, driven by economic expansion, population growth, and its role as a global manufacturing and industrial hub.
In the Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS), electricity demand is set to increase by 4% annually through 2035, outpacing overall energy demand growth.
By 2035, electricity demand is expected to reach over 2000 TWh, more than double Japan's current demand.

2. Energy Mix and Fossil Fuels

Fossil fuels, particularly coal, have dominated the region's energy mix since 2010, meeting 80% of energy demand growth.
Coal remains a key energy source, accounting for half of the region's electricity generation and 30% of industrial energy demand.
Oil and natural gas also play major roles, with oil contributing over 25% of energy demand and natural gas around 20%.
Fossil fuel imports are expected to rise significantly, with oil import costs projected to surpass USD 200 billion by mid-century.

3. Clean Energy Transition

Clean energy is set to meet 35% of energy demand growth by 2035, driven by solar PV and wind, alongside modern bioenergy, geothermal, and other low-emission technologies.
However, renewable capacity growth in Southeast Asia is modest compared to global trends, and unabated coal will continue to grow, although its share in the energy mix will decline to 35% by 2035.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining traction, with 15% of car sales in Vietnam and 10% in Thailand in 2023, and the potential to exceed 25% by 2035.
Cooling is a major driver of electricity demand, expected to account for nearly one-third of the region's growth, with air conditioning (AC) usage increasing significantly in countries like Indonesia.

4. Energy Security and Affordability

Energy security is a top priority due to rising fossil fuel import costs and geopolitical tensions.
The region's reliance on Middle Eastern oil imports (60%) and Russian gas imports (before the war) highlights its vulnerability to global price shocks.
Fossil fuel subsidies reached USD 105 billion in 2022, signaling the need for reform to support a just transition.

5. Environmental and Health Impacts

Air pollution is a critical issue, with 85% of the population exposed to polluted air in 2023.
Energy-related CO₂ emissions are expected to rise by one-third by 2050, highlighting the need for cleaner technologies and policy reforms.
The region is also vulnerable to climate change impacts, such as extreme weather events like heatwaves and floods.

6. Climate Ambitions and Net Zero Goals

Eight out of ten ASEAN countries have set net zero emissions goals, with Indonesia targeting 2060 and Thailand 2065.
The COP28 targets, including tripling renewable capacity by 2030 and significantly reducing methane emissions, require accelerated action in Southeast Asia.
A just and orderly transition for workers and local economies is essential, especially in coal-dependent countries like Indonesia and Vietnam.

7. Investment and Financial Needs

Clean energy investment in Southeast Asia is currently only 2% of global clean energy spending, despite its 6% share of global GDP, 5% of global energy demand, and 9% of global population.
The region needs over USD 190 billion in clean energy investment by 2035, which is more than double the STEPS projection.
Private and commercial investment will be crucial, but policy reforms and international support are needed to reduce cost of capital and investment risks.

8. Regional Cooperation and Infrastructure

Regional cooperation, including the ASEAN Power Grid and Greater Mekong Subregion power trade agreements, is essential for grid modernization and electricity security.
LNG imports will support gas-fired power growth, reaching 28% in the late 2020s.
Grid and storage infrastructure must be expanded to support the increasing share of variable renewables.

9. Key Challenges and Opportunities

Energy access remains a challenge, with 20% of the population lacking clean cooking technologies.
Clean energy technology supply chains and flexibility in power systems are critical for future energy systems.
The region has potential for clean energy value chains, with Vietnam, Thailand, and Malaysia leading in solar PV manufacturing and Indonesia becoming a key lithium-ion battery hub.

Key Information

IEA member countries: Include major economies such as the United States, Japan, and Germany, with the European Commission also participating.
IEA association countries: Include China, India, and Indonesia, which are pivotal to the region's energy growth.
New IEA office in Singapore: The first IEA office outside Paris, highlighting the region's strategic importance.
Energy security risks: Escalating geopolitical tensions, fossil fuel dependency, and volatile prices pose major challenges.
Climate commitments: Eight ASEAN countries have net zero targets, requiring accelerated clean energy transitions.
Economic and environmental trade-offs: The region's carbon-intensive growth is a concern, but clean energy investments offer a path to sustainable development.

Conclusion

The Southeast Asia Energy Outlook 2024 underscores the region's central role in the global energy system and the urgent need for policy reforms, investment, and regional cooperation to ensure energy security, affordability, and sustainability. While the region's energy demand will continue to grow, the transition to clean energy is critical to align with climate goals and global net zero targets. The report highlights the importance of tailored strategies, innovative technologies, and international support in shaping a secure and sustainable energy future for Southeast Asia.
