COVID-19 vs ASEAN Energy Sector: Renewables (Q3)

04 November 2020

Nadhilah Shani and Zulfikar Yurnaidi

Key Points

“Resiliency is shown by ASEAN RE projects in the second half of 2020 despite the lingering trace of the pandemic in the energy sector. While the idea of ‘build back better’ is echoed by most countries in the region, its optimal implementation remains uncertain. However, ASEAN Member States keep focusing on putting efforts to invite investment on renewables and begin resuming the work that was halted, aiming for the long-term green recovery ahead. Renewable is expected to make strong come-back when the economy rebounds.”
