Key findings from this pack

  • PH is a net energy importer; Singapore’s import ratio reflects entrepôt activity.
  • Indonesia’s nickel production is much larger than the Philippines’, on a shared scale.
  • EI power-mix coverage is limited to the four itemised countries.
  • Missing hydro observations remain gaps; renewable consumption can include traditional biomass.

Methods & coverage

Separate concepts and vintages

Electricity access is the WDI 2024 observation. Net imports and fossil electricity retain their country-specific WDI years. Fossil electricity includes oil, gas and coal; it is not the same metric as EI coal’s share of generation. EI 2024 power-mix shares are itemised only for Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. The download retains those separate series.

Import dependence

Negative net imports indicate an exporter. Singapore’s high positive ratio reflects entrepôt and refining activity, not household scarcity. The oil net-import proxy in the complete pack is derived from oil production and consumption and is not a customs import measure.

Nickel and hydro coverage

USGS nickel observations and derived world shares use 2024 production. Nickel content is shown in thousand tonnes on a shared zero-based scale, preserving Indonesia’s dominance relative to the Philippines. The rest of SEA-11 is not itemised in that table and remains missing. EI hydro generation is measured in TWh; missing Laos observations are not filled with a narrative hydro-share estimate.

Renewables and gaps

Renewable energy consumption can include traditional biomass; it does not mean modern clean electricity. Renewable electricity output, final energy consumption and EI generation shares have different denominators and years. Missing values remain gaps, never zero. Downloads retain full original precision; rows show source, year and as_of.
