Electricity demand in Southeast Asia is rising rapidly, and the five countries in the Mekong region are all challenged to not only meet rapidly rising electricity demand needs but also adapt to the clean energy transition, manage concerns over energy infrastructure’s environmental impacts on the Mekong River system, and respond to short-term shocks from COVID-19 pandemic and drought. This report seeks to provide policymakers with situational awareness on technological advances and energy system shocks and provides recommendations on how to make long-term decisions on energy infrastructure and market opportunities following the COVID-19 pandemic.
This report is generously supported by the Sustainable Infrastructure Partnership at Pact and the Mekong – US Partnership.
