Solar Power Expansion in Mekong

This graph shows installed solar capacity in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam between 2017-2023 in megawatts, and includes a projection out to 2030 based on stated solar power targets for each country at that point in time.

Graph showing solar power capacity expansion in Mekong countries of Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam between 2017 and 2023, with projected targets to 2030.
Vietnam, Thailand, and Cambodia all have long-term targets stated through 2037 and beyond in existing national power plans. Cambodia has plans to expand to 3,155 MW by 2040; Thailand to 33,269 MW by 2037, and Vietnam to nearly 170,000 MW by 2045. These values are not included in the graph as the scale of growth in Thailand and Vietnam would make it difficult to see the current values.
Chart: Courtney WeatherbySource: Installed capacity through 2023 is taken from IRENA Renewble Energy Statistics 2024. Data for 2030 and future targets are taken from stated policies for each country.Get the dataCreated with Datawrapper
