The study explores decarbonization strategies for the ASEAN power sector from 2018 to 2050, proposing integrated models incorporating renewable energy, carbon capture, and cross-border transmission grids, with transmission contributing minimally to costs (up to 0.3%) but potentially reducing cumulative system costs by 10.8%, requiring a total investment equivalent to 29.6%-44.2% of ASEAN's 2018 GDP, and highlighting the need for country-specific investments to achieve a carbon-neutral power sector.

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.
