Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
The ASEAN smart energy and energy storage market is at a critical inflection point, driven by surging AI and data centre power demand, aggressive national renewable targets (Thailand's PDP targeting >60% RE), and a regional push for grid integration (APG) with estimated investments exceeding US$700 billion. The ASEE-ASEAN Smart Energy & Energy Storage Expo 2027 serves as the region's premier platform connecting policymakers, utilities, investors, and technology providers to capture this growth. With Thailand implementing new mandatory storage standards and market reforms, and ASEAN aiming for 30% renewable energy share by 2030, the expo provides direct access to high-intent buyers and project stakeholders in the world's fastest-growing energy storage market.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Commercial, industrial, and utility buyers are increasingly evaluating solar and batteries as an integrated system for resilience, peak management, and renewable-energy use.
Utilities and developers need forecasting, energy-management, and storage technologies that can support higher shares of variable renewable generation.
Buyers are placing greater weight on warranties, local service, financing, EPC capability, and long-term system performance.
Rooftop solar, microgrids, and behind-the-meter storage are expanding opportunities across factories, commercial buildings, and critical facilities.
Latest updates from across the market.

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Thai Business Etiquette
Thai business culture values politeness, respect, and a calm demeanor. Greetings are typically with a 'wai' (palms pressed together in a prayer-like gesture). Use formal titles (e.g., Khun) followed by the first name. Avoid public displays of anger or raising your voice. Business cards are exchanged with both hands and should be received with respect; take a moment to read the card before placing it on the table. Dress code is smart business attire; suits or formal office wear are expected.
Language and Communication
While Thai is the official language, English is widely used in business settings, especially in Bangkok and at international expos. Key business documents and signage will likely be in both Thai and English. Learning a few basic Thai phrases (e.g., 'Sawasdee' for hello, 'Khob khun' for thank you) is appreciated and demonstrates respect.
March Weather and Health
March in Bangkok is hot and humid, with average highs of 34–36°C (93–97°F). Stay hydrated, wear light breathable fabrics, and use sun protection. Air-conditioned venues like IMPACT Exhibition Center can be cool, so bring a light jacket or shawl for indoor sessions. The tap water is not potable; drink bottled water only.
Networking and Socializing
Networking is a key part of business in Thailand. Building personal relationships ('sanuk' enjoying work and life) is valued. Expect invitations for meals or after-hours socializing; these are important for relationship building. Be punctual for business meetings, but understand that social gatherings may start later than scheduled.
