Abstract In this chapter, we review the state of energy security in East and Southeast Asia using three indicators: (1) energy supply security, (2) energy diversification, and (3) reliable energy infrastructure. The energy supply security of the region is presented using the energy self-sufficiency ratio and export–import status.
East Asia has abundant wind, solar, and off-river pumped hydro energy resources. The identified pumped hydro energy storage potential is 100 times more than required to support 100% renewable energy in East Asia.
Its TPES has been dominated by crude oil, natural gas, and coal. Crude oil and natural gas liquids (NGLs) account for the largest share of the energy supply of Southeast Asia for in 2005 and 2017; however, their share of the total TPES significantly decreased from 48.1 to 35% from 2005 to 2017.

The ASEAN region should consider adopting regional energy networks, such as the Trans-ASEAN Gas Pipeline, with virtual pipelines of liquefied natural gas, and the ASEAN Power Grid to maintain energy supply security. Nuclear power generation is another option for securing energy supply.
The rest of the primary energy supply came from hydropower at 10.9%, coal at 6.0%, biomass with 5.9%, and a smaller percentage of other renewables such as wind, solar photovoltaics, and biofuels.

The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
