Tim Weber and Andrew Blakers have published an article in the East Asia Forum explaining the almost unlimitless potential for solar photovoltaics in Southeast Asia, which can be combined with pumped hydro energy storage to provide firmed, reliable, affordable, clean electricity.

The tens of thousands of possible pumped hydro sites can be seen on our atlases, linked below.
