Sustainability is quickly becoming a priority for governments and businesses across the world. Amidst the adoption of reduced emission targets, a key area of focus is investment in and deployment of renewable energy (RE), which is a key solution to decarbonisation and achieving net zero emission goals.
Businesses throughout all industries are increasingly looking towards RE, whether to meet the applicable regulations in their jurisdictions, or to utilise the available green incentives. However, to effectively assess the implementation of RE solutions, businesses must first traverse the RE-related policies, restrictions and green financing in their respective jurisdiction. An added dimension of complication is added if the business operates across country lines, as the policies and focus of each country may differ.
To help businesses navigate the policies and laws affecting the RE sector, Rajah & Tann Asia published the Guide to Renewable Energy in Southeast Asia which provides an overview of the RE landscape in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, where Rajah & Tann Asia has its geographical footprint.
This Guide summarises the salient legal and regulatory issues in each jurisdiction that businesses should be aware of in their implementation of RE, including the regulatory framework and sectoral policies, RE programmes, government incentives, and key issues in the RE sector.
