The Rethinking Energy in Southeast Asia series discusses key global and local factors that shape the energy sector. Driven by national energy strategies, falling installation costs of renewables, and public pressure against fossil fuels, countries in the region are gradually transforming their fossil fuel-based power generation fleets into more sustainable and diversified energy supply portfolios.
Learn more about the global energy transition and its impact on energy markets across Southeast Asia, and deep dive into the role of flexibility in high-renewable power systems in this new report.
If we act now, we can avoid locking ourselves into inflexible legacy technologies and instead build the optimal foundations for future Net Zero systems.
Wärtsilä’s report shows: Southeast Asian countries can smoothly transition to net zero by mid-century, slashing emissions and the carbon tax cost burden

How can the energy industry across Southeast Asia better plan, optimise and manage the integration of renewable energy sources into their power grids? Find out by listening to the experts from Energy Exemplar and Wärtsilä discuss how energy simulation software is transforming power system planning.
In Indonesia, the power systems face a wide range of issues that make commitments to lowering carbon emissions and transitioning to renewables challenging. Listen to experts from Wärtsilä and PLN, Indonesia’s state electricity company, discuss why flexibility vital to the power systems.
The integration of variable renewable energy into energy systems requires flexible technologies that can balance their intermittent output and ensure overall grid stability. In this episode, we look at flexibility from a market, planning and financial perspective and how we can incentivise greater investment in flexibility that will help accelerate the integration of renewables.
Installed energy storage is predicted to grow tenfold around the world in the coming decade, with 55% of that growth taking place in Asia Pacific. Find out what is driving this growth, as well as the challenges energy storage still faces in the region by listening to experts from Wärtsilä and the International Finance Corporation (World Bank).
The growing integration of renewable energy into power grids across the region is increasing the need for greater system flexibility to ensure stable power output. Find out how hybrid power plants provide a solution that can meet these needs and become instrumental in the energy transition across Southeast Asia.
As more countries across Asia prioritise decarbonisation and the integration of more renewable energy into their power grids, gas conversions of power plants are becoming an increasingly popular solution. Find out how gas converted power plants are helping to reduce emissions and provide the grid stability needed for energy transition across the region.
