Editors: Han Phoumin, Rabindra Nepal, Fukunari Kimura, Farhad Taghizadeh-Hesary

Explores the integration of economics, technology, and policy in facilitating the large-scale deployment of renewable energy across ASEAN. Combines microeconomic principles, such as market design and cost-benefit analysis, with emerging technologies like utility-scale batteries and energy modeling techniques to demonstrate how renewables can be scaled effectively. Identifies key policy barriers—such as carbon pricing and cross-border electricity trade—and proposes strategies to overcome them. Highlights country-specific and regional case studies with a particular reference to the ASEAN and Asian economies, including India and China.
