Vietnam accounted for 69% of ASEAN’s solar and wind generation in 2022 and was the region’s main driver in renewable energy development in recent years, according to a report by U.K.-based energy think tank Ember.
Vietnam’s share of renewable electricity generation led the 10-country bloc last year at 13% and it was followed by Cambodia, Thailand, and the Philippines, said the report.
The report also highlighted that ASEAN recorded a 43% average annual growth in solar and wind generation between 2015 and 2022, and the introduction of Vietnam’s feed-in tariff policy in 2017 was the primary driver for this surge.
