The development of the power industry in various countries in Southeast Asia varies widely.
Southeast Asia in this report includes 10 countries: Singapore, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Brunei, Laos and Cambodia. With a total population of over 600 million by the end of 2021, Southeast Asia has an overall economic growth rate higher than the global average and is one of the key drivers of future global economic growth.
According to the publisher's analysis, the economic levels of the 10 Southeast Asian countries vary greatly, with Singapore being the only developed country with a per capita GDP of about US$73,000 in 2021. While Myanmar and Cambodia will have a GDP per capita of less than US$2,000 in 2021. The population and minimum wage levels also vary greatly from country to country, with Brunei, which has the smallest population, having a total population of less than 500,000 people in 2021, and Indonesia, which has the largest population, having a population of about 275 million people in 2021. The most economically advanced countries in Southeast Asia do not have a legal minimum wage, with the actual minimum wage exceeding US$400 per month (for foreign maids), while the lowest minimum wage level in Myanmar is only about US$93 per month.
Southeast Asia relies on imports for 40% of its energy, currently relying on the Middle East for oil and gas, and Australia as the main source of coal imports. The energy mix in Southeast Asia is 80% coal and oil and gas, and the remaining renewable energy is mainly hydropower, with photovoltaic power and wind power in their infancy. In this case, nuclear energy becomes very attractive.
As of the end of 2022, Southeast Asian countries do not have active nuclear reactors, but the situation could change. Since the end of May 2022, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines have successively expressed their desire to have nuclear power in order to meet growing energy demand and move away from dependence on fossil energy.
The Philippines has built nuclear power plants, but they are not in operation. The only fully built nuclear power plant in Southeast Asia was built under former President Ferdinand Marcos, but the Philippine government shut it down after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, making it never officially operational. According to the assessment, the Bataan nuclear power plant can be put into operation if US$3 billion to US$4 billion is invested in maintenance costs.
The publisher's forecast, Southeast Asia's power sector will continue to grow from 2023-2032. Relatively cheap labor and land costs have attracted a large number of foreign investors to shift their production capacity to Southeast Asia, making industrial electricity consumption rise rapidly. On the other hand, as Southeast Asia's economy grows and residents' living standards rise, domestic and commercial electricity consumption also continues to rise. It is expected that in 2023-2032, more thermal and hydroelectric power plants will be built in Southeast Asia, while a number of nuclear power plants may be completed and put into operation.

Methodology
Background research defines the range of products and industries, which proposes the key points of the research. Proper classification will help clients understand the industry and products in the report.
Secondhand material research is a necessary way to push the project into fast progress. The analyst always chooses the data source carefully. Most secondhand data they quote is sourced from an authority in a specific industry or public data source from governments, industrial associations, etc. For some new or niche fields, they also "double-check" data sources and logics before they show them to clients.
Primary research is the key to solve questions, which largely influence the research outputs. The analyst may use methods like mathematics, logical reasoning, scenario thinking, to confirm key data and make the data credible.
The data model is an important analysis method. Calculating through data models with different factors weights can guarantee the outputs objective.
The analyst optimizes the following methods and steps in executing research projects and also forms many special information gathering and processing methods.
1. Analyze the life cycle of the industry to understand the development phase and space.
2. Grasp the key indexes evaluating the market to position clients in the market and formulate development plans
3. Economic, political, social and cultural factors
4. Competitors like a mirror that reflects the overall market and also market differences.
5. Inside and outside the industry, upstream and downstream of the industry chain, show inner competitions
6. Proper estimation of the future is good guidance for strategic planning.
