New PV capability additions in Southeast Asia are anticipated to select up this yr for the primary time since 2020, in keeping with the Asian Photovoltaic Trade Affiliation. The market is anticipated to develop by 13% in 2023, for 3.8 GW of recent installations.
Photo voltaic in Southeast Asia is about for a rebound, after two years of market decline triggered by Vietnam’s sudden suspension of a beneficiant feed-in-tariff regime in 2020, the Asian Photovoltaic Trade Affiliation (APVIA) and the World Photo voltaic Council (GSC) as a brand new report, printed in collaboration with SolarPower Europe.
Annual capability additions are anticipated to hit 3.8 GW by 2023, which is 13% from final yr. In 2021, the market contracts by 68% to 4.2 GW annual addition. However now, favorable coverage frameworks, declining expertise prices, and rising demand for electrical energy are actually pointing to progress alternatives in Southeast Asia.
“The brand new capability is properly distributed in several nations and the regional market now not will depend on a single contributor, [i.e. Vietnam],” mentioned APVIA and the GSC.
Nonetheless, uncertainty stays, as many nations are at the moment at a turning level of their photo voltaic tales. The report says it stays to be seen how shortly they will deploy photo voltaic. The area additionally faces challenges associated to grid infrastructure, entry to financing, land availability, and lack of a talented workforce. In keeping with the report’s “excessive” state of affairs, installations within the area might hit 5.7 GW in 2023, or contract to 2.5 GW underneath the “low” state of affairs.
“Beginning in 2024, a excessive progress price is anticipated all through the area,” APVIA and the GSC mentioned. The annual set up is estimated to develop 32% to succeed in 5.1 GW in 2024, 59% to eight.1 GW in 2025, 28% to 10.4 GW in 2026, lastly hitting 13.3 GW in new additions in 2027, in keeping with the report.
