As countries balance energy security and decarbonisation, policymakers face a critical question: How can clean energy competitiveness be systematically compared across different countries and technologies to guide long-term power purchase agreements and long-term investment in energy infrastructure?
This seminar presents the innovative data use and methodology behind ACI’s latest study on ASEAN countries’ clean energy competitiveness. To facilitate cross-country and cross-technology comparisons, we calculate Levelised Cost of Electricity (LCOE) and identify how manufacturing ecosystems and policy frameworks drive cost differences. We integrate granular project-level data with national and regional clean energy status analytics, demonstrating how leading databases can be leveraged to inform green energy transition policies: including Business Monitor International (BMI), Global Energy Monitor (GEM), and others.
This research methodology and approach to data provide an innovative perspective for strategic energy planning in a rapidly evolving global energy landscape, relevant to countries across the globe.
