Asia’s energy landscape is under pressure as the ongoing Iran war disrupts global fuel supplies, forcing several countries to fall back on coal. From South Korea delaying coal plant shutdowns to the Philippines declaring a national energy emergency, governments across the region are scrambling to manage power shortages.

At the heart of the crisis is the disruption in liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply, largely due to tensions impacting the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global energy transit route.
