In Southeast Asia, Switching to Solar Offers Relief from Energy Crisis Caused by Iran War

This shift comes amid an energy crisis triggered by the war in Iran, which has disrupted global oil supplies and driven up prices. While the source does not specify individual countries, Southeast Asia as a whole is highly dependent on oil imports, and local residents and enterprises are seeking alternative solutions to cut their expenses.
