BUILD REGIONAL COOPERATION WITH SPECIAL FOCUS ON south-east asian MARKETS

Vietnam

The South East Asia Task Force will engage with the Vietnamese government on key actions and policies needed in both onshore and offshore wind sector and to promote its growth, by developing white papers and policy documents endorsed by the industry.
Building partners and consolidating industry position with other government agencies, embassies, and chambers. 

Thailand

GWEC's South East Asia Task Force continues to lend support to the Thailand Wind Energy Association with our market insights and position papers and participate in their discussions to improve understanding of challenges and opportunities for wind power development in Thailand.
The Task Force has produced a white paper on the cost of wind in comparison with other fossil fuel energy sources.

In 2019, GWEC with the support of USAID hosted the first ever Thailand Wind Development Roundtable to discuss PDP revision in Thailand. The event was attended by government officials (MOE, DEDE, EGAT, PEA, ALRO, and more), international organisations (IEA, IRENA), embassies, and key industry player.

The South East Asia Task Force and ThaiWEA published a position paper on Strengthening Onshore Wind Development in Thailand in 2019. 

Philippines

GWEC's South East Asia Task Force is working closely with our partners in the Philippines to build momentum around wind power growth in the country and to educate policymakers about the socioeconomic benefits of building out a local wind power industry.

GWEC will engage with government bodies and key stakeholders to highlight key policy actions needed to create an enabling environment for wind power. Engagement and advocacy efforts will be backed by industry position papers, and market analysis highlighting the benefits of local renewable energy projects.
