Renewables lead APAC power project pipeline

Around 250 projects were added to the pipeline in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Renewable energy projects will lead the power project pipeline in the Asia Pacific as markets accelerate power projects due to the expected demand growth, according to a report by BMI.

BMI noted that 250 projects were in its Key Projects Database in the fourth quarter of 2023, of which 98 are in the construction phase and 86 have started operations in the last three months.

Solar power dominated the pipeline, comprising about 80% of the new projects. It also accounted for around 20% of all power generation projects in development.

“We believe that in support of electrification plans and anticipation of growing power demands, markets have responded by increasing opportunities for power projects,” the report read.

“This mainly takes the form of government tenders and auctions to release or repurpose land areas for the development of power projects,” it added.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035
This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
