Southeast Asia Weekly Roundup: Indonesia Targets 100 GW Solar; Vietnam Boosts Solar Recycling and More…

Indonesia is accelerating its ambitious 100 GW solar roadmap as part of a broader strategy to achieve energy independence. The plan focuses on scaling domestic renewable capacity, reducing fossil fuel dependence, and strengthening long-term energy security while aligning with global climate commitments and regional clean energy trends.


Vietnam is strengthening solar sustainability through a recycling partnership between IREX and Hamada. The collaboration focuses on responsible solar panel lifecycle management, addressing waste challenges, and supporting circular economy practices as the country continues to expand its solar capacity at scale.


EIB Global and Techcombank have introduced a €200 million green credit line to support renewable energy and climate-focused investments in Vietnam. The initiative is expected to improve access to sustainable financing, accelerate green infrastructure deployment, and strengthen the country’s transition toward a low-carbon economy.


Nuriflex Vietnam and Singapore Power have partnered to deploy a 20 MWp solar portfolio for industrial manufacturing. The collaboration highlights growing demand for corporate renewable solutions in Southeast Asia, helping manufacturers reduce emissions, lower energy costs, and meet sustainability commitments.


Founder Group has secured an $8.6 million EPCC contract under Malaysia’s Large Scale Solar (LSS) programme. The award reinforces Malaysia’s steady utility-scale solar growth and reflects continued investor confidence in government-backed renewable procurement frameworks.


Southeast Asia’s power markets remain stable despite global volatility linked to Middle East tensions. However, the situation has reinforced the importance of energy security, diversification, and domestic renewable capacity as key priorities for long-term resilience across the region.


Thailand is proposing new solar freedom and credit reform bills aimed at improving energy access and financial fairness. The reforms seek to simplify rooftop solar adoption, enhance consumer participation, and create a more enabling regulatory environment for distributed energy growth.


Sembcorp has secured a $2.1 billion loan to acquire Alinta Energy and expand its Asia-Pacific footprint. The move strengthens its regional energy portfolio and signals continued consolidation and strategic investment in clean and diversified energy assets.


Vietnam’s Hoa Phat is expanding rooftop solar installations to support green steel production. The initiative reflects growing industrial decarbonization efforts, where renewable energy is increasingly integrated into heavy manufacturing processes to reduce emissions and improve sustainability.


Indonesia is deploying grid-forming energy storage solutions to enhance power reliability on remote islands. The systems support off-grid infrastructure, reduce diesel dependency, and improve energy access in geographically dispersed regions.


Sunview’s subsidiary has secured RM170 million in financing for a 50 MW solar project in Pahang, Malaysia. The funding highlights continued financial support for renewable projects and strengthens the country’s solar development pipeline.


Solar First has completed a 1 MW rooftop solar installation in Thailand using advanced mounting systems. The project demonstrates continued growth in distributed solar and highlights technological innovation in system design and installation efficiency.


Malaysia has launched a floating solar pilot project at Kenyir Dam to advance hybrid renewable strategies. The initiative combines solar generation with hydropower assets, optimizing land use and improving generation efficiency.


Cleantech Solar has expanded its collaboration with Coats Group through a second renewable project in Indonesia. The partnership reflects rising demand for corporate renewable solutions and long-term sustainability commitments.


The Philippines Department of Energy has reported measurable energy savings through flexible work arrangements and efficiency measures. The initiative highlights how policy-driven behavioral changes can complement infrastructure upgrades.


Sinexcel has commissioned its first Sirius 135k energy storage system in Thailand. The deployment strengthens grid stability and supports renewable integration, marking progress in the region’s growing energy storage market.
