Despite LNG supply disruptions via the Strait of Hormuz and higher gas prices from the Middle East war, Southeast Asian countries are continuing to build gas-fired power plants and expand LNG import capacity, Global Energy Monitor said. The net-zero–focused think tank estimates roughly 100 GW of new gas-fired generation and about 70 GW of additional LNG import capacity are under construction in the region. Global Energy Monitor warned that continued expansion of LNG import infrastructure could heighten vulnerability to supply interruptions and price volatility exposed during crises. It added that Southeast Asia could raise domestic gas output to reduce LNG dependence, but that would take time.
