Study on Regional Renewable Energy Cooperation in ASEAN

2 February 2018

Key Points

ASEAN celebrated its 50th year of cooperation in 2017. With the establishment of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) in late 2015, ASEAN is projected to become the fourth-largest economy in the world by 2030. One of the crucial elements in the realisation of AEC, which calls for a well-connected ASEAN to drive an integrated, competitive and resilient region – is energy. Securing affordable and sustainable energy supplies become an important agenda for ASEAN to achieve the aspirational target of 23% RE share in the primary energy mix by 2025 and to reduce energy intensity by 20% in 2020 based on 2005 levels, as outlined in the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC).
