Speaker:

• Milan Koev - Founder and CEO, Hexagon Peak
   

Session Description:

Southeast Asia (SEA) relies primarily on fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas for energy. Energy demand in the region has increased by 60% in the last 15 years, while supply has not kept up with growth. It is expected that more regulatory reforms and favorable economic policies in 2023 will possibly stimulate private investments that can help meet Southeast Asia's energy demands.

With a goal of lowering carbon emissions by 15% by 2030, Southeast Asia is set to enhance opportunities for solar energy businesses to develop solar PV facilities in the region in the coming years. Furthermore, the region intends to reduce its reliance on foreign fossil fuels such as crude oil and promote renewable energy sources such as solar. In this speaker session, solar energy expert Milan Koev will cover the landscape of SEA’s solar energy sector and the latest policy trends to achieve the region’s net zero goals. 

Key Takeaways

• Understand the market landscape for solar energy in SEA. 
• Identify SEA’s role in the global solar supply chain. 
• Examine how regional governments’ policies are affecting SEA countries’ solar energy markets.
• Explore the initiatives taken by SEA countries to achieve carbon-neutral goals and the possible investment opportunities.
• Uncover the latest trends and technologies that drive the region’s solar energy sector.
• Understand the challenges confronting solar energy producers and investors in Southeast Asian countries.
