Southeast Asia Energy Outlook 2026: Report

Southeast Asia Energy Outlook 2026: Report

Jul 3, 2026 | , ,

Southeast Asia is a very dynamic region that is set to be a major driver of global energy demand growth, but the Middle East conflict has provided a stark wake-up call for the region’s energy system. Governments are focused on managing the short-term energy impacts of the crisis. Immediate impacts have been felt most acutely in refining, petrochemicals, power generation and cooking fuels. A stronger and more co-ordinated regional response will be essential to address these challenges. The outlook for electricity supply and emissions is increasingly shaped by the pace at which renewables and other sources of low-emissions power can be scaled up. Delivering this transition depends on an efficient build-out and use of enabling infrastructure, particularly grids and storage.
