ASEAN overly reliant on hydropower: experts
The ASEAN Community, which is expected to need more sources of energy in the near future, relies too much on hydropower for electricity, local and international experts said at a recent conference held in Ho Chi Minh City.
Speaking at the conference held by the UBM Asia and Joint Graduate School of Energy and Environment in Thailand, they said that hydropower still remained the main energy source while other types of renewable energy, including solar, biomass, wind, biogas, ocean energy, geothermal and solid waste, had not been used although they have vast potential.
