ACE in ASEAN Energy Sector
ACE assumes a central role in the ASEAN energy sector. It works closely with energy authorities/ministries in the 10 AMS called the Sub-sector Networks (SSN) and the Specialised Energy Bodies (SEB), as well as with the ASEAN Secretariat which acts as the custodian and administrator of the Endowment fund. Together, they implement the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation, which serves as a blueprint for better cooperation towards enhancing energy. Keeping the region’s development sustainable and environmentally friendly is an important concern of ASEAN’s energy sector. This concern is shared as a common theme of each Sub-sector Network in implementing its programmes.
