Shrinking the Funding Gap for ASEAN and East-Asian Solar
Time: 12:15 - 13:00
Date: Day One of 2024 Solar Finance and Investment Asia Summit
Synopsis
Over the last five years, the ASEAN region has attracted the second-lowest level of investment in solar PV globally. There remains a funding gap, as the broader Asia-Pacific region requires over USD 1 Trillion per annum in green energy investments ahead of 2030 for the region to be on track to meet net-zero targets. What role will international and concessional capital play in moving the market forward?
- How do global investors perceive the solar investment opportunities in the ASEAN and East-Asian region compared to other markets in the world?
- Which solar markets would benefit most from a larger deployment of concessional and international investment?
- What strategies are being deployed to reduce the cost of capital and reduce the risk of deploying capital and projects in growing Asian solar markets?
- What blended financing opportunities are public and philanthropic funds bringing to the ASEAN and East-Asian region?
