Coal to take lead in southeast Asia

摘要

Coal, not gas, will dominate southeast Asia's power markets by 2030, with Indonesia to play a major supply role due to its geographical proximity, according to a forecast made by energy analyst group Wood Mackenzie in a report entitled Can coal deliver to South East Asia? "A shift to coal in the region's fuel mix has already started, with 35 GW of committed coal-fired plant being developed in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and even on a smaller scale in Singapore," Wood Mackenzie head of southeast Asia gas and power service Graham Tyler said.
