The Turbine Bottleneck: Inside Southeast Asia’s LNG Slowdown
In this episode of Energy Insights, host Stephen speaks with Sam Reynolds, Research Lead for LNG and Gas at IEEFA, to unpack how a global turbine shortage is slowing Southeast Asia’s LNG expansion.
Sam explains how long delivery backlogs, higher costs and supply constraints are delaying major LNG projects in the Philippines and Vietnam. This slowdown is raising doubts about gas as a reliable bridge fuel and opening more space for renewables to grow across the region.
The discussion highlights what this means for investors, energy security and long-term planning, and why Southeast Asia’s future power mix may shift more quickly toward solar, wind and storage.
