Bangladesh’s rooftop solar push is gaining momentum, but progress remains modest. 🛰 Our satellite analysis estimates ~370 MWp installed as of Jan 2026, far below the 3,000 MWp target. 🔗 Full analysis → bit.ly/4ub1aLp

🔄 Most energy models don’t talk to each other. Long-term planning ≠ hourly dispatch. Built in isolation, they don’t align. We built an interoperable data model linking TZ-OSeMOSYS and PyPSA — one common language for capacity expansion and dispatch. Read more: bit.ly/4rMhuAJ

Malaysia’s data centres now use 3% of Peninsular electricity — triple the year before. Coal retirements after 2029 create a turning point. If clean energy and imports don’t scale fast enough, gas fills the gap, but will stay on for decades. Read more 👇 www.transitionzero.org/insights/mal...

🏭 Can coal plants in Southeast Asia run more flexibly? Technically, sometimes. Commercially? Much harder. Long-term PPAs, two-part tariffs & must-run clauses lock coal into baseload — even as solar and wind grow. Part II of our coal flexibility series explores why 👇 🔗 bit.ly/4aAHLut

🛰️ Indonesia's rooftop solar puzzle: plenty of sunshine, but minimal scale. Our satellite analysis found ~600 MWp installed - well short of the national target. The catch? 87% is concentrated in Java. The rest of the archipelago? Essentially zero. 🔗 Find out more: bit.ly/40eEoV2

🇻🇳 Vietnam has dominated Southeast Asia’s leaderboard as the largest solar power market for some time now… but official statistics generally fail to capture growth in small rooftop solar PV systems. Why does this matter? www.transitionzero.org/insights/map...

JUST LAUNCHED: new reports show nearly half of ASEAN’s coal fleet can be retired with existing financial solutions⏫ These #CTCReports outline pathways to accelerate coal transitions while keeping power reliable and affordable. Read them here: poweringpastcoal.org/strands-of-w...

These papers really helped us roll up our sleeves and get into very practical challenges & solutions to enable more coal retirement and to take a nuanced look at the role of coal during the transition. Huge kudos to the teams at @rockymtninst.bsky.social and @transitionzero.org for authoring these.

🇹🇼 In 2024, the Taiwanese government raised its 2030 emissions reduction target from 24% to 28% below 2005 levels. The country faces both opportunities and obstacles in shifting to a grid powered by low-cost, variable renewable energy.

🇹🇼 How could a subset of commercial and industrial consumers using 24/7 carbon free energy help Taiwan achieve their emissions reduction goals? Our report will be released tomorrow. 🔎 Meanwhile, now is a great time to read our explainer on 24/7 CFE 👉 www.transitionzero.org/insights/wha...

🇲🇾 Malaysia intends to peak emissions around 2040 and reach net zero by 2050. With a rapidly industrialising economy and a grid powered largely by coal and gas, the move toward greater solar, storage and other renewables marks both a challenge and an opportunity for the clean energy transition. ☀️🔋

🇲🇾 Coming soon: our report on how 24/7 carbon free energy could help Malaysia (with its untapped renewable potential and improving regulatory landscape) strengthen its position as a regional energy transition leader. Meanwhile, check out our explainer 👉 www.transitionzero.org/insights/wha...
