On this week's episode of #TruthtoPower, IntelStor's Founder & CEO, Philip Totaro looks at the feed in tariffs, public finance & capital efficiency of #renewableenergy within the Asia Pacific region from the IntelStor Future of Renewables #marketresearch Report.

Feed in tariffs in the Asia Pacific region have averaged between US$67.05 / MWhr for marine energy deployed in South Korea up to US$108.77 / MWhr for solid biofuels across the region.

Annual public investment in the Asia Pacific region has taken off since 2011. Since then, annual disbursement has been between US$3.8 – 8.3 billion with an upward trend and the highest ever regional public finance investment in the most recently reported period.

Hydropower has dominated the regional allocation of public investment of more than $88.6 billion with more than $41.5 billion or 46.8% of the total allocation. Solid biofuels have received a substantial amount of public funding recently, with $20.9 billion or 23.7% of the total funding allocation.

Solar leads out of all the technologies on capital efficiency (total public investment per MW installed) with just $2,000 per installed megawatt of public funding allocation, having largely relied upon private finance for the scale up of the technology. Onshore wind has seen $12,000 / MW and offshore wind $16,000 / MW in public funding, making them some of the most capital efficient technology deployments globally.

This show examines data driven insights for the energy sector, with a focus on renewables. To subscribe to IntelStor Research Notes and get early access to our latest content as well as these Truth to Power weekly editorials, visit https://lnkd.in/e98Z9qs3
