The International Energy Agency highlights the concentration of clean energy supply chains in a few countries as a growing challenge for Southeast Asia amid rapidly increasing electricity demand, driven by industrial electrification and other factors. Geopolitical tensions are also intensifying energy market shifts, accelerating demand for renewables, electric vehicles, and alternative energy sources.
