Clean Energy for ASEAN’s Digital Growth: Report

Clean Energy for ASEAN’s Digital Growth: Report

May 30, 2025 | , , , ,

This report by EMBER concludes that ASEAN’s data centre industry is expanding rapidly, driven by global digitalisation trends like cloud computing and generative AI. This growth, while critical for the region’s digital economy, is fuelling a sharp rise in electricity demand and greenhouse gas emissions due to heavy reliance on fossil fuel-based grids. This poses a significant threat to ASEAN’s energy transition agenda, risking setbacks of power sector decarbonisation. Governments should place the issue of sustainability, especially the energy transition, at the forefront of efforts to achieve a digital leap and transform national economies.

Renewables point the way to Mexico’s energy security

Renewables point the way to Mexico’s energy security

May 26, 2025 | , , ,

Mexico’s energy security and affordability are at risk due to its high dependence on imported gas. 74% of domestic gas demand and 54% of the electricity generated in Mexico depend on gas purchased from the United States, making the country, its economy, and its citizens extremely vulnerable to potential geopolitical conflicts and price volatility. Achieving 45% clean energy by 2030 would reduce the country’s dependence on imported gas from the US for electricity generation by 20%. This growth in clean generation, based on the installation of 46 GW of solar and wind energy, would make it possible to avoid any investment in the construction of new combined-cycle power plants.
