Abstract
This chapter provides the updated renewable energy (RE) policy and development for ten ASEAN Member States (AMS). In 2015, ASEAN renewable energy’s share in total primary energy supply (TPES) has reached 13.6% (ASEAN Centre for Energy 2017). Specifically, on power sector, its share has amounted to 21.7% of total power generation, coming from 24.3% installed renewable-based power plant. Under the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2016–2025, ASEAN aspires to reach 23% of renewable energy (RE) share by 2025 on its TPES. To reach this target, AMS has embarked various policies at national level to support the development and deployment of renewable energy technology. As an addition, by 2025, ASEAN is expected to only increase around 17% of their RE share if the current existing policies are followed as identified in REmap study developed by IRENA and ACE. In fulfilling this six percentage-point gap, some advanced policies are recommended through this chapter, upon the reviews of ASEAN historical data and the updates of RE policies in all AMS.
