Roland Berger Summary: Solar Power in Southeast Asia and India

Core Content

Roland Berger's report highlights the growing importance of solar power in Southeast Asia and India due to the rapid increase in power demand and the region's abundant solar resources. The report identifies key opportunities and challenges, and provides a strategic framework for unlocking solar potential in these markets.

Main Points

1. Electrifying Potential

Power Demand Growth: Southeast Asia and India are expected to be the fastest-growing regions in terms of power demand, with growth rates more than twice as fast as China.
Economic Drivers: The region is still in the industrialization phase, which is a major driver of power demand.
India's Transition: India is shifting its focus from the service sector to manufacturing, with the "Make in India" initiative aiming to increase manufacturing's contribution to GDP.
Electrification Goals: Countries like Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Myanmar, and India have ambitious targets for universal electrification.
Solar Potential: Despite low current installed capacity, Southeast Asia has strong solar irradiation levels (17.2 MJ/m²/day), comparable to Germany and China.
India's Progress: India has already achieved 20 GW of solar capacity and is building large projects, with auction prices falling significantly from USD 1/kWh in 2015 to USD 0.0355/kWh in 2018.
Challenges in Southeast Asia:
- Policy Uncertainty: Lack of clear renewable targets and frequent changes to energy plans.
- Regulatory Hurdles: Inconsistent power purchase agreements and difficulties in obtaining land and grid connection rights.
- Financing Issues: Small project sizes and regulatory uncertainty make projects less bankable.
- Infrastructure Gaps: Limited local manufacturing and engineering capabilities, and insufficient grid interconnections.

2. A Bright Future

Cost Trends: Solar PV generation costs are decreasing rapidly due to increased global capacity and value chain efficiencies.
Cost Competitiveness: In the Philippines and Thailand, solar may soon be cheaper than new coal-fired assets. In Malaysia, this could happen by 2025.
Off-Grid Potential: Solar can play a crucial role in electrifying remote areas through micro- and mini-grids, as it is cheaper and faster to deploy than diesel-based systems.
Future Capacity: Independent estimates suggest that solar PV could reach 90 GW in Southeast Asia by 2040, significantly higher than government-planned 35 GW.

3. Lighting the Way

Five Target Segments:
1. Utility-Scale Solar Auctions: India is expected to add more than 80 GW by 2035, while Southeast Asia will add around 20 GW. Large developers and international utilities are key players.
2. Corporate PPAs: These will become mainstream in both regions, with 19 GW of new capacity expected by 2035. Deals are typically below 100 MW and involve green procurement policies.
3. Solar Rooftop: A significant segment, with numerous small projects (below 20 MW) expected to boost capacity by 14 GW by 2035.
4. Rural Off-Grid Projects: These will grow in India and parts of Southeast Asia, such as Myanmar, adding up to 21 GW by 2035. Key to success is securing diverse offtakers beyond residential customers.
Investor Opportunities: International investors are already active in the region, with examples like Macquarie Capital and Ayala Group investing in solar projects.

Key Recommendations

Promote a Mix of Project Sizes: To attract large equity investors and ensure market diversity.
Increase Auction Targets: Set clear and larger auction targets, and communicate them transparently to investors.
Support Infrastructure and Capabilities: Develop partnerships with international developers and EPC players, and improve transmission capacity.
Standardize PPAs: Create PPA templates that meet international standards and are suitable for a variety of project types.
De-Risk Pre-Development: Address land acquisition and third-party grid access through regulatory support.

Conclusion

With proper planning, investment in solar projects in India and Southeast Asia offers significant growth potential. While India is already making strides in solar development, Southeast Asia faces more challenges but has the potential to catch up with the right strategies. International investors are well-positioned to capitalize on these opportunities, provided they understand the nuances of each market and engage effectively with local governments.
