| Abstract | This paper examines the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB) role in supporting renewable energy (RE) projects in ASEAN countries, focusing on financial, regulatory, and stakeholder challenges. Building on Stakeholder Theory, the research adapts the framework to the multilevel governance and cross-border context of ASEAN’s energy transition, extending its application to projects involving multilateral development banks. A comparative case study approach is used, analyzing the Monsoon Wind Power Project, Nam Ngiep 1 Hydropower Project, and Green Yellow Rooftop Solar Project through project documents, policy reports, and relevant literature. The results elucidate persistent challenges, including land conflicts, environmental concerns, and regulatory inconsistencies, which are influenced by power imbalances among ADB, national governments, investors, and local communities. While ADB facilitates financial investment and mediates disputes, inadequate stakeholder engagement and fragmented governance hinder project success. Policy suggestions include the strengthening of regulatory uniformity, boosting transparency, and supporting inclusive involvement to attain just and sustainable changes in RE. This adaption for Stakeholder Theory demonstrates its utility in diagnosing relational and institutional complexities in regional energy governance and offers a transferable analytical lens for similar contexts. |
