Asian Power - Issue No. 103

En este asunto

In this issue, we highlight the ongoing net-zero goals and sustainability initiatives of the Asia-Pacific region. After the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in October brought together world leaders to accelerate action towards these goals, the spotlight is on APAC governments leading the charge on renewables investments and energy transitions.

Vietnam returns to coal power, which puts the country’s renewable energy transition at risk (page 14); Singapore’s Energy Bill sparks concern amongst stakeholders (page 16); and The Philippines is poised to lead Southeast Asia in sustainability efforts (page 24).

We sat down with Barnik Maitra, Managing Partner in Arthur D. Little, discussing India’s move of aggressively privatising discoms, which are on the verge of bankruptcy because of aggregate technical and commercial losses and political populism. See the
full interview on page 30.

We cover the Singapore International Energy Week where representatives discussed climate ambitions and clean energy transitions in Southeast Asia. See the full event coverage on page 32. We also recognise the ground-breaking projects and trailblazing initiatives in Asia’s power sector at the Asian Power Awards 2021. See the full list of winners on page 40.
