Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) has announced a new round of feed-in tariffs (FIT) for solar power, introducing location-based pricing and, for the first time, incorporating energy storage systems.

Singapore is steadily expanding its network of carbon credit trading partners, having signed cooperation agreements with both Peru and Chile within a week.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs on imported products is not only dealing a blow to Southeast Asia’s solar industry but also expected to drive up the cost of renewable energy projects within the United States.

On April 3, Trump announced all imports to the United States will be subject to a new “baseline” 10% tariff. This is an additional tax charged by US Customs and Border Protection when products cross the border.

To support the growth of low-carbon industries in Malaysia, the Japanese government, through the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), announced at the end of March a list of 47 Japanese companies with established operations in the country.
