Asia-Pacific Solar Projects Highlight Southeast Asia’s Growing Clean Energy Momentum
The Asia-Pacific solar PV market is off to a strong start in 2026, with new projects and corporate milestones signaling accelerating renewable energy adoption across the region. Recent developments include:
Malaysia’s Largest Floating Solar PV Project – Masdar, in partnership with Tenaga Nasional Berhad, has signed a PPA for a 300 MW floating solar project at Chereh Dam, marking the largest floating PV installation in Southeast Asia.
Philippines’ ACEN Hits 100% Renewable Generation – ACEN has achieved 100% renewable energy output across its portfolio, with solar making up the majority of its 7 GW capacity, reflecting the growing corporate shift towards clean energy.
Australia Advances Utility-Scale Solar – European Energy’s 1.1 GW Upper Calliope Solar Farm in Queensland received planning approval, highlighting the region’s continued investment in large-scale PV infrastructure.
These examples reflect a broader trend: Southeast Asia is becoming a hotspot for solar adoption, driven by policy support, sustainability goals, and increasing demand for cost-effective clean energy solutions.
As the ASEAN Solar & Energy Storage Expo 2026 approaches, this momentum provides a unique opportunity for industry stakeholders to connect, exchange insights, and explore partnership opportunities in Southeast Asia.
