Graphic of the week
1 September 2026 – Renewable generation and electricity demand vary across ASEAN due to differences in resources, climate, time zones and economic activity. By pooling these diverse profiles, the ASEAN Power Grid can smooth renewable variability, reduce aggregate system peak demand and lower the dispatchable capacity needed for reliability. A regional grid can reduce decarbonisation costs by about $800 billion by 2050 compared with individual country transitions.

Major levers that will transform the energy system
Rapid growth of clean electricity led by cheap solar and wind is replacing fossil fuels in the power sector, and beyond through electrification.
Coal mines emit more methane than the gas industry, yet this pollution is often overlooked. Half of methane emissions from coal mines can be captured with proven, cost-effective technologies.
