How clean energy is transforming Asia and the Pacific
Over the last 3 years, UNDP has delivered clean, affordable solar energy to 3.6 million people – 42 percent of them women and girls - by installing solar systems in nearly
The Asia-Pacific region is at the forefront of the global renewable energy revolution, with solar power leading the way. The top solar energy projects in this region not only demonstrate the immense potential of solar power but also highlight the commitment of various countries to sustainable energy solutions.
Asia's growing energy demand has often been framed through the lens of its coal, gas or nuclear dependence, but solar power is growing rapidly across the region. Over the last decade China, India, South Korea, Viet Nam and Japan have significantly increased the share of solar power in their respective energy mixes.
The Renewable Energy Status Report (Asia and Pacific) shows that solar power capacity has more than tripled in the region in recent years. Figure 1: Installed Renewable Energy capacity in APAC.
