Part 3 in a series on ETM deals in Southeast Asia. How PPAs have shaped power markets in Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines, and why their lack of transparency and rigid terms pose challenges for Southeast Asia's energy transition.

What if Singapore goes ahead with interconnection projects to support clean power purchase deals in Cambodia, Indonesia or Vietnam? Southeast Asia analyst Thu Vu's shares how our energy systems modelling platform can facilitate power system planning. 

The primary barrier to closing coal plants in many markets is the presence of long-term supply agreements, coupled with a lack of open data on the financial implications of these agreements.

TransitionZero’s Coal Asset Transition (CAT) tool for the Philippines covers all 58 of the countries’ coal units, backed by data from over 200 PSAs covering over 65% of generation from 2020 to 2023. CAT offers comprehensive asset-level insights into the Philippine coal fleet, including estimates on the cost of abatement and the cost of buying out remaining power supply agreements for each plant.

The energy transition relies on resource planning models, however, today’s offerings are often costly, closed and complex. TransitionZero combines world-leading satellite data work with new systems modelling capability in a convenient and user-friendly ecosystem.

TransitionZero Report: Grids are net-zero lifelines and investing in grids today could save nearly $3 trillion in the global energy transition. These savings could be greater still when the system resilience and macroeconomic benefits of grids are considered. In this report, discover ten interconnector cables that, if built, could change the world.
