The purpose of this report is to improve understanding of the policy landscape for FPV systems and identify potential pathways to create an enabling policy and regulatory environment FPV systems in Southeast Asia. In this literature review, we discuss the case for FPVs in Southeast Asia by presenting the energy context and state of the grid in select Southeast Asia countries and conduct a literature review of existing and potential non-technical barriers to FPV deployment, concluding with potential policy pathways to address some of the barriers identified. Given the lack of extensive literature on the policy and regulatory environment for FPVs and the similarity with other RE technologies, this review adapts lessons from other RE technologies to the FPV context.
