Southeast Asia deepening dependence on fossil fuels, think tank warns
Briefly

"ASEAN met the entire 3.6% rise in electricity demand last year through fossil fuels, signaling a risk of deepening dependence on these energy sources."
"The region's transition to cleaner energy is slow; as a result, it's missing out on the benefits of renewables, which are becoming more cost-effective than fossil fuels."
"Electricity demand in Southeast Asia is growing rapidly, emphasizing the need for cleaner energy solutions like solar and wind, especially as hydropower faces reliability issues."
"Investment in clean energy must ramp up significantly—$190 billion needed—if the region hopes to meet climate targets and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels."
