The article aims to investigate the impacts of policy uncertainty towards household preferences for rooftop solar power in Vietnam. It examines the role of public perception, environmental awareness, and financial incentives towards decisions including preferences for stand-alone vs. battery-paired solar systems. It also analyses the impact of the feed-in tariff policy towards willingness to invest in solar energy systems.

This study examines and assesses the critical sustainability factors related to the sustainability of co-firing in Indonesia.

This study analyses the challenges in increasing women participation in energy transition and the policies to address the challenges.

This study aims to identify key barriers to coal phase-out strategies in Indonesia and Vietnam as two major coal economies. Proposing viable strategies for transition, the study focuses on economic, institutional, social, and technical challenges to accelerate the shift to renewable energy.

Indonesia aims for net-zero emissions by 2050, aligning with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5 °C. A major carbon emitter, the country focuses on the energy sector’s transition from fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) to renewables (solar, wind, hydropower). It is noted that geographic variations will influence regional timelines in achieving the set target. This study introduces a mathematical optimisation model, employing mixed-integer linear programming (MILP), to systematically address Indonesia’s energy transition complexities.

This chapter concludes that Vietnam and Malaysia are leading the race to Net Zero compared to Indonesia due to the availability of renewable energy financing and incentives for project developers.

The study evaluates the effect of governance variables and economic growth on ASEAN energy transition, from 2000 to 2020, using FMOLS, DOLS, FE-OLS, and MMQR regression. It finds that economic growth promotes energy transition. Hence, as these ASEAN countries grow economically, the use of renewable resources increases more rapidly than non-renewable energy sources.

Indonesia aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060 by transitioning to renewables, electrification, energy efficiency improvements, and Carbon Capture and Storage, despite a projected 375% increase in final energy consumption by 2060 from 2018 levels.

Grid-scale inter-seasonal energy storage and its ability to balance power demand and the supply of renewable energy may prove vital to decarbonise the broader energy system. Whilst there is a focus on techno-economic analysis and battery storage, there is a relative paucity of work on grid-scale energy storage on the system level with the required […]
