Iran war ‘stark wake-up call’ for fossil fuel- dependent Southeast Asia: IEA report
The Iran war has exposed major risks for Southeast Asia that could cost the region billions of dollars, if it does not diversify sources of energy more quickly, according to an International Energy Agency (IEA) report released on Tuesday.
An overreliance on oil and gas transported through the Strait of Hormuz left the region particularly vulnerable to shocks from the Iran war, a “stark wake-up call” for its energy security, the report says.

The International Energy Agency says Southeast Asia’s power sector is too open to risks from its dependence on imports of oil and gas from a limited number of suppliers
BANGKOK --The war in Iran has exposed major risks for Southeast Asia that could cost the region many billions of dollars if it does not diversify sources of energy more quickly, according to an International Energy Agency report released Tuesday.
An overreliance on oil and gas transported through the Strait of Hormuz left the region particularly vulnerable to shocks from the Iran war, a "stark wake-up call" for its energy security, the report says.
It notes that rising sales ofelectric vehicles, a renewed interest innuclear powerand a boom in rooftop solar and otherrenewable energy installationsshow the war is spurring change.
But more sweeping reforms are needed. Otherwise, Southeast Asia’s energy import bill could rise to $245 billion by 2035, tripling from $80 billion in 2024, the report warns.
“Diversification of energy sources and supply routes is now a central priority," saidFatih Birol, the IEA executive director.

The war in Iran has exposed major risks for Southeast Asia that could cost the region many billions of dollars if it does not diversify sources of energy more quickly, according to an International Energy Agency report released Tuesday.
An over-reliance on oil and gas transported through the Strait of Hormuz left the region particularly vulnerable to shocks from the Iran war, a "stark wake-up call" for its energy security, the report says.
It notes that rising sales of electric vehicles, a renewed interest in nuclear power and a boom in rooftop solar and other renewable energy installations show the war is spurring change.
But more sweeping reforms are needed. Otherwise, Southeast Asia’s energy import bill could rise to $245 billion by 2035, tripling from $80 billion in 2024, the report warns.
“Diversification of energy sources and supply routes is now a central priority," said Fatih Birol, the IEA executive director.
The energy shock sent Southeast Asia into a state of energy triage, leading to higher energy bills and rising inflation.
