The energy transition is driving a greater emphasis on using renewable energy sources because there is broad agreement on the critical importance of preventing further warming of the environment. The ASEAN nations, however, need help with this process because the consumption of energy from fossil fuels is the main factor driving their economies’ expansion. Consequently, this transition presents a challenge for these nations. The qualitative content analysis study with in-depth semi-structured interviews in face-to-face dialog explores the phenomenon of the energy transition based on the practical and empirical views of a selection of individuals who work in the renewable energy business. The primary data based on the interview is transcribed into the text using MAXQDA 2022 to develop the core category within the Qualitative Content Analysis. The results of the data analysis led to the formation of six core categories, which derived from the current economic development characteristics, the renewable energy challenges (regulation, investment, market structures, and technology), encouraging customers, energy transition potential, measuring green growth, and the impact of the national determination contribution (NDC) on catastrophic and sustainable development. Both participants’ empirical points of view demonstrate a relationship between energy security and the current state of economic development. The current state of economic development is heavily dependent on fossil fuel energy, which is in high demand and produces high CO2 emissions, which can result in potential catastrophic or natural disasters. The energy transition is presently confronted with challenges in regulations, financing and investment, market structures, and individual behaviors regarding the consumption of clean energy, fostering renewable energy, and environmentally friendly products. This study recommends adjusting the existing energy regulations, democratizing infrastructure and market structures, encouraging customers to consume clean energy, and accelerating the energy transition.
