In recent weeks, Japan has stepped up its clean energy collaboration with ASEAN nations, highlighted by former Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s visits to Indonesia and Malaysia on behalf of the Asia Zero Emissions Community (AZEC).

China's solar industry, facing a saturated domestic market and U.S. trade restrictions, is increasingly looking to Southeast Asia as a destination for its surplus capacity. This dynamic could make clean energy technologies more affordable for ASEAN.

The U.S. has announced steep anti-dumping and countervailing duties on solar products from four Southeast Asian countries.  Cambodia faces the highest tariffs, which exceed 3,500 percent and are considered among the most significant increases in history.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs have sparked concern across the clean energy industry. For fledgling startups in countries like Indonesia and Vietnam, the resulting disruption to global supply chains could be the final straw.

When Donald Trump pulled back on his plan to impose eye-watering tariffs on trading partners across the world, there was one key exception: China.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s announcement of new tariffs on imported products is not only dealing a blow to Southeast Asia’s solar industry but also expected to drive up the cost of renewable energy projects within the United States.

On April 3, Trump announced all imports to the United States will be subject to a new “baseline” 10% tariff. This is an additional tax charged by US Customs and Border Protection when products cross the border.

A devastating 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, causing widespread power outages and fuel shortages. The disaster has led to panic buying of generators among residents, while rescue teams face difficulties accessing the hardest-hit areas.
