Most Asian countries have the capacity of renewable energy, including solar, hydro, wind, etc. Asian countries are geographically placed in an area with various climatic circumstances including tropical, and humid. Hence, easy access is provided to various renewable energy sources. The energy policies have been initiated by Asian governments for encouraging individuals and industries for employing renewable energy powered systems in power applications. There are large potentials of sustainable energy sources in Asian countries. Nevertheless, owing to different challenges, they globally perform in renewable energy deployment. The present paper deals with a comprehensive and updated overview of the renewable energy status in the Asian countries along with the present installed renewable energy capacities. The energy setup and renewable energy made in Asian countries are briefly described in this paper. Studying the years 2000 to 2019 comprehensively, the results revealed that China, India and Japan had the most renewable energy capacity in Asia with 790000 MW, 133000 MW and 120000 MW in 2019 respectively. Also the energy produced by renewable energy for these countries in 2019 was 1739400 GWH, 288622 GWH and 190587 GWH respectively.
