In this issue

In this issue, we highlight some significant obstacles to the ongoing sustainability and net-zero initiatives of AsiaPacific’s power sector and the potential stakes if carbon pricing is not imposed. Southeast Asia, in particular, faces an uphill battle in the deployment of carbon capture, usage, and storage technology without carbon pricing.

We sat down with Masdar President Director for Indonesia Eng. Fatima Al Suwaidi to discuss the company’s expected launch of what would be the largest floating solar photovoltaic power plant in Indonesia this year. Read the exclusive interview on page 14. We also chatted with Solar Philippines CEO and Founder Leandro Leviste to talk about the lack of foresight in the Philippines’ private sector to meet the increasingly high solar energy demand. Read the full interview on page 18.

We also feature industry experts discussing the ongoing decarbonisation efforts of AsiaPacific’s power sector, and the solutions to boost the region’s energy transition and economic growth in this year’s Asian Power Summit. See the full event coverage on page 26.
