It would be very interesting to consider this question looking at it in relative rather than absolute terms, that is, what country in Asia, has the largest proportion of renewable energy in its generation mix?
China is the largest renewable energy producer in the world and the Hydropower plants in china produce produce 50% of its renewable energy. . The generation capacity of China is twice that of the USA .
I think that one of the most successful country in terms of implementation and production of renewable energy is Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore located in southeast of the continental Asia. Of course, there are some other countries that it take good actions in this filed e.g Japan and South Korea.
Asia’s installed renewable energy capacity almost tripled between 2009 and 2018, increasing from 349.1GW to 1,023.5GW. The growth is primarily led by China, which now accounts for around 68% of the region’s total installed capacity.
Being Asia the most populous continent by far it is very important to follow closely all energy-related issues and a very relevant one is energy poverty which affects differently all continents. In this respect, the contribution of renewable energies to mitigate this alarming problem that affects millions is indispensable since it allows isolated, low-income families access to electric power.
