In January this year, Susi Partners launched a platform to develop renewable energy assets in Asia, particularly for countries such as the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, and other Southeast Asian markets.
The platform was set up in partnership with Pacific Impact, a Singapore-based renewable energy projects developer.
It targets greenfield development of solar, wind and hydro assets. Such projects will be supported through financing, construction and operation.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations is targeting 23% of energy to be supplied by renewables by 2025.
