The Edge Malaysia
In The Edge Malaysia, BCG’s Marko Lackovic and Jaime Ruiz-Cabrero discuss the increasing switch to renewable energy in Southeast Asia, specifically solar photovoltaics (PV). Annual installation of solar PV is expected to reach more than 160 gigawatts globally in 2022; because of Malaysia’s significant urban rooftop real estate, it is positioned to offer more than 4 gigawatts of solar potential across public, commercial, and industrial rooftop spaces. While there are still physical limitations, such as installation challenges, the authors write that nuanced and localized strategies can help overcome these hurdles, creating “remarkable opportunities for power industry operators and consumers alike.”
