## English

* **89% of Filipino business leaders** say current government policies lag behind the pace of electrification their businesses need — highest frustration rate in the survey
* **83% of Indonesian and 82% of Filipino executives** call for increased government investment in grid capacity to support industrial electrification
* **92% of Philippine executives** (highest globally) say heavy reliance on imported fossil fuels exposes them to price and geopolitical risks — a wake-up call for ASEAN energy security
* **80% of Filipino executives** warn their country is falling behind in the regional electrification race
* **78% of firms would consider relocating overseas** if government support for electrification is insufficient — capital flight risk for ASEAN economies
* **50% of executives have already delayed electrification investments** due to policy gaps, costing the region critical clean energy momentum
* **Barriers cited**: 43% insufficient government incentives, 41% insufficient grid investment as main obstacles to corporate electrification
* **Philippines renewables target**: 35% by 2030, 50% by 2040 — but still plans new gas capacity, creating policy contradiction
* **Indonesia's PLN** aims for renewables to supply over one-third of electricity by 2034 (up from ~16%), but lacks a clear roadmap for business electricity demand growth
* **Malaysia relevance**: As an ASEAN neighbour, Malaysia's NETR and Solar ATAP policies position it ahead of Philippines and Indonesia in the electrification race — a competitive advantage for attracting clean energy investment
