Powering ASEAN's growth. A look at the trends that will impact the use of pow...Tim Hill
How our use of energy will change in the next five years.
Clashes in the South China Sea, rising fuel prices, nuclear disasters and choking smog levels have brought energy issues sharply into focus in the region. As the deadline for ASEAN’s Vision 2020 gets nearer, will the region transition to a unified economic group, connected by power, gas and water networks, working together to promote energy efficiency?
Ipsos Business Consulting believes the future will involve a more complex array of energy options, but not necessarily a unified ASEAN program. In a whitepaper on this topic, author Tim Hill has outlined the energy trends that will shape the region. New technologies and practices will emerge in the latter part of this decade which will change the way the region extracts, produces, distributes and consumes energy. Hill hopes that some of these trends will enable ASEAN’s economies to grow without further damage to the environment.
From national grids to micro-grids and off-grid power
160M people in ASEAN (about 28% of the region) have no electricity. Getting full access to all through extending the grid will prove challenging and expensive. Micro-grids, such as the one operating as a test centre in Pulau Ubin will help to bridge this gap. Smaller plants powered by hybrid fossil and renewable sources will help to bring electricity to rural communities in Southeast Asia that previously have had to rely on generators. Remote areas will benefit from advances in technology with solar power and battery storage that will create enough electricity for lighting and other low level devices. In the cities more households will take on individual solar panels to reduce their electricity bills.
Electric vehicles
Other parts of the world are using electric cars and buses, and Singapore is looking at options in this space. SMRT added 600 Toyota Prius hybrid cars to its fleet at the end of last year and there are experiments with fully electric cars. Charging stations are starting to appear in select parts of Singapore.
Electric two wheelers are going to experience a tenfold increase during the course of this decade. Electric bikes are likely to replace petrol motorbikes and scooters throughout the region which will help to manage smog levels as urban populations grow.
Other types of electric personal transport such as Segways, scooters, skateboards etc are starting to pop up in our parks. These will become more mainstream forms of transport for short commutes during the rest of the decade. Governments in the region have been slow to recognise the advantages of electric two wheelers, seeing it as something that needs to be regulated and kept off the roads and off the walkways. This will change as the advantages of low cost, low speed vehicles become more mainstream

IRJET- The Power of Electricity and it’s Problems in IndiaIRJET Journal
1) The document discusses electricity generation and its role in India's economic development. It highlights how all sectors rely on electricity for basic needs and operations.
2) The major sources of electricity in India are described as hydroelectric, thermal using coal and gas, and nuclear. However, problems have arisen due to delays in projects, financial issues of state electricity boards, and high transmission and distribution losses.
3) While generation capacity has increased significantly over time, gaps remain between targets and achievements. Issues like cost recovery and inefficiencies have also contributed to regular power shortages across the country.
China is strongly focused on and investing heavily in renewable energy like wind and solar. However, coal still accounts for the majority of China's energy consumption and it remains dependent on coal. The key regulatory agencies overseeing China's energy policy and development are the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and National Energy Commission (NEC). Recent regulatory trends aim to develop renewable energy while also improving efficiency in non-renewable energy and promoting cleaner coal and oil production.

This document discusses Pakistan's energy sector. It notes that Pakistan faces energy deficiencies despite having natural resources. The two main power suppliers are WAPDA and KE. Pakistan's total installed capacity is around 37,000 MW but demand is around 25,000 MW. The government is promoting renewable energy sources like solar and wind to meet its goal of 30% renewable energy by 2030. Current renewable capacity is only around 1,100 MW. The primary energy sources in Pakistan are gas, oil, hydro, and coal.
The document discusses opportunities for SK Energy to enter the wind power market in China. It analyzes the market size and growth potential of China's wind industry. Government policies strongly support the development of renewable energy like wind power. The wind power market in China is large but development has been uneven across regions. There is potential for SK Energy to partner with players in the industry to take advantage of opportunities in both developed and developing wind power markets in China.
The letter urges the Senate Finance Committee to continue supporting renewable energy through tax policy, which has been crucial to the growth of industries like wind and solar. It summarizes that renewable sources made up over 50% of new US power in 2014, with technologies like wind and solar experiencing major cost reductions thanks to tax credits. However, uncertainty around the extension of credits like the PTC and ITC threatens continued growth. The letter argues that permanent, consistent tax policies are needed to provide long-term market signals and make renewable energy widely available to businesses and consumers, in the same way policies have supported oil and gas.

Renewables- The Knight in the Silver Armor for Power famished IndiaAnkit Prabhash
India faces significant challenges in meeting its growing energy demands due to a large gap between energy supply and demand. Renewable energy presents an opportunity to help address this issue with advantages like sustainability, low operational costs, and environmental friendliness. Renewable energy capacity in India has grown significantly at an average rate of 19% between 2007-2014, driven by factors like energy security concerns, government support through incentives, climate change impacts, and falling technology costs. If India ramps up development of solar and wind energy, renewables could provide 70% of its electricity and 35% of total energy by 2030, enhancing energy security and representing a promising economic and environmental future for the country.

2. Under current policies, Southeast Asia's total primary energy demand is projected to grow 60% by 2040, driven by economic growth, urbanization and rising incomes.
3. This continued reliance on fossil fuel growth risks a ballooning trade deficit, rising emissions, and increased energy security and health issues from air pollution.
4. To meet sustainable development goals, stronger policy actions are needed to diversify the energy mix, increase renewable deployment, and improve efficiency
Powering ASEANs growth. A look at the trends that will influence ASEAN's use ...Tim Hill
This document discusses trends that will impact power usage in ASEAN countries to 2020 and beyond. It summarizes that while ASEAN envisioned greater regional cooperation on energy through initiatives like an ASEAN Power Grid, individual national policies will likely shape the future more. All ASEAN countries suffer from energy inefficiencies to varying degrees. As economies grow, energy consumption and fossil fuel usage will likely increase, creating pollution problems unless new technologies help avert this. New decentralized power sources may be the biggest factor in electrifying rural communities. Overall the future of ASEAN's energy will combine traditional centralized systems with alternative options, but the region may not achieve the ambitious goals laid out in the ASEAN Vision 2020.

This document discusses trends that will impact power usage in ASEAN countries to 2020 and beyond. It summarizes that while ASEAN envisioned greater regional cooperation on energy through initiatives like an ASEAN Power Grid, individual national policies will likely shape the future more. All ASEAN countries suffer from energy inefficiencies to varying degrees. As economies grow, energy consumption and fossil fuel usage will likely increase, creating pollution problems unless new technologies help avert this. New decentralized power sources may be the biggest factor in electrifying rural communities. Overall the future of ASEAN's energy will combine traditional centralized systems with alternative options, but the region may not achieve the ambitious goals laid out in the ASEAN Vision 2020.
ASEAN Coal Trends: Challenges and Oppor tuni ties on Facing ASEAN Economi c C...Meliana Lumbantoruan
ASEAN energy consump tion is forecasted to rise because of the
signi ficant gro wt h of economy and popul ation in the region. Coal
use continuou sly increase as a replacement for oil and natural gas.
ASEAN plays signi ficant roles in coal consump tion and produ ction in Asia
Pacific. Using the value chain approach, it is projected that coal produ cer
coun tries in ASEAN will have the chance to maximize the market through
bilateral trade or AEC framework. The AEC can foster market integration
in ASEAN, build s awareness of ASEAN coun tries to develop their
infrastructure in energy suff iciency, as well as develops clean coal
technolog y. Coal produ ction in ASEAN will still leant on Indonesia as the
main expor ter in ASEAN. Energy policy of each coun try in ASEAN has a lot
of things in common , which provides the space of building further regional
coooperation in managing energy features. The future of coal sector in
ASEAN will highl y depends on advancement of technolog y, impro vement
of governance, effeciency of transpor tation, and connectivity between
the coun tries. Strengthening cooperation and coordin ation must be a key
strategy for ASEAN coun tries to ensure readiness in facing AEC.

ASEAN is set to become the fourth largest economy globally by mid-century due to strong economic growth driven by a young population and expanding workforce. This will create a large new middle class and drive demand for energy, steel, and other commodities. Key opportunities for ASEAN include growing oil and gas imports and exports, rapidly increasing LNG demand that may establish the region as a trading hub, and doubling steel consumption. However, ASEAN also faces challenges meeting rising electricity needs and attracting sufficient investment for infrastructure development.
INTERNATIONAL GRID INTEGRATION Efficiencies, Vulnerabilities, and Strategic I...Power System Operation
The new decade is poised to be one of fundamental
change in the global electricity sector,
with the widening cost advantages and spread
of renewable energy. One result of that trend is
that power networks and markets have entered a new
phase of international and regional integration. More renewables
benefit from larger, varied, and more flexible
grids, which has spurred transmission build-out and grid
modernization worldwide. Trading power across international
borders and facilitating more complex markets
both deliver increasing cost savings and efficiency gains,
especially with rising demand and growing shares of renewables
in the power mix. That is the case across many
(otherwise very different) developing Asian economies.
Evolving international electricity grids and markets also
have regional political implications in a world where critical
infrastructure informs trade and national security.
This report is intended to inform US policy responses to
the energy transition as it spurs new interdependencies
and reshapes geopolitical relationships.
As economic growth and power demand both increase
in developing Asia (including the Middle East), countries
are integrating cheaper renewables and shifting away
from dependence on fossil fuels. Meeting demand while
reducing costly emissions has encouraged new infrastructure
and policy changes to increase cross-border trade.
The changing political economy of electricity trade in the
Middle East, South Asia, and Southeast Asia reflects trends
that are likely to accelerate in this decade, and highlights
the institutional challenges of international grid integration.
China’s role is significant. Its program to supply grid infrastructure
that can support the energy transition, and a
particular vision of global interconnection, are products of
the country’s drive to engage its industrial capacity and
sell to the region; to build a soft-power case for Chinese
climate leadership; to expand regional political and economic
influence; and to raise its national profile in a quiet
rework of international energy governance. It is also a
bet on a particular view of future continental electricity
markets and architecture. The wider Belt and Road
Initiative (BRI) to develop regional infrastructure networks
Shell and Brunei have a long and rich history together, dating back over 80 years. It’s a history that illustrates the importance of working together and of using innovation and technology to make the most of precious energy resources. The partnership between Shell and Brunei has helped make the Sultanate one of Asia’s most important producers of oil and gas and a reliable supplier of energy supporting the region’s rapidly growing economies.
And of course the income from oil and gas means that Brunei has one of the highest GDPs per capita in the world.
Like Shell, Brunei has a tradition as an energy pioneer. Brunei LNG began operating one of the world’s first large-scale liquefied natural gas facilities back in 1972. Over the subsequent 40 years, Brunei has safely delivered more than 6,000 LNG cargoes, mainly to Japan and Korea, underpinning the energy security of both countries.
This document provides an overview of Myanmar's power sector, including its primary energy supply, final energy consumption, and institutional structure. Some key points:
- Myanmar has abundant energy resources like hydropower and natural gas but per capita electricity consumption is among the lowest in Southeast Asia due to low electrification rates.
- Biomass accounts for over half of primary energy supply while natural gas and hydropower are also major sources. Final energy consumption is dominated by biomass used in the residential sector.
- The Ministry of Electric Power oversees policy and planning for the power sector while the Electricity Supply Enterprise and Electricity Supply Corporation are responsible for generation, transmission, and distribution.

The document summarizes a forum on developing renewable energy in Northeast Asia and the Asia Super Grid concept. It discusses Mongolia's Gobitec project which aims to harness its vast wind and solar resources in the Gobi desert and supply 100GW of clean energy to Northeast Asia by 2030, making Mongolia an energy hub. The forum highlighted that the Asia Super Grid is technically feasible but faces political, financial and regulatory barriers. Speakers discussed various countries' plans for interconnectors and trading renewable energy regionally to increase energy security.
This document summarizes the dynamics of the electricity supply industry (ESI) in ASEAN countries. It discusses key challenges facing the ESI, including depleting energy resources, high demand growth, investment needs, and increasing fuel prices. It also examines strategies countries are taking to ensure energy supply security, such as fuel diversification, developing domestic resources like natural gas and hydroelectric power, and investing in infrastructure like LNG import facilities. Maintaining a balance between factors like supply security, costs, sustainability, and safety is important for utilities to meet responsibilities of delivering reliable electricity.
With conditions in the developed markets of Europe and North America likely to remain weak in the near term, business is increasingly looking to Asia for growth. Growth will not be uniform across sectors or even within them. Which subsectors will see the most dynamic growth? And what will drive it? Exports? Domestic sales? Technology? Innovation? Rising consumer incomes? What should companies be thinking about as they plan their Asia strategies for the next five to ten years?
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), sponsored by InvestKL, developed the “industry dynamism” barometer to measure the resilience and growth potential of six industry sectors across Asia.
ASEAN plays a significant role in coal consumption and production in Asia Pacific. Using a value chain approach, coal producer countries in ASEAN have opportunities to maximize intra-ASEAN markets through bilateral trade or under the ASEAN Economic Community framework. The AEC can foster market integration and build infrastructure for energy sufficiency and clean coal technology. However, cooperation between ASEAN countries on technology, governance, transportation, and connectivity will be important for the coal sector to fully benefit from opportunities presented by the AEC.
Renewable Energy Milestone Act as Reference in Climate Change Partnership of ...Kenneth Wong
The document discusses renewable energy development in ASEAN and opportunities for climate change partnership between the EU and ASEAN. It notes that while ASEAN countries have made efforts to develop renewable energy, there remains an "implementation gap". The EU has experience supporting renewable energy that could help ASEAN, including in regulations, capacity building, and technology transfer. Specific areas of potential cooperation discussed include energy efficiency, biofuels, and sharing lessons from EU renewable energy policies. The document also outlines some existing bilateral renewable energy cooperation between EU countries and ASEAN members.

It notes that while ASEAN countries have made efforts to develop renewable energy, there remains an "implementation gap". The EU has experience supporting renewable energy that could help ASEAN by sharing policies, incentives, technologies, and best practices from its own transition. Specific areas of cooperation discussed include energy efficiency, biofuels, hydropower, and facilitating private sector investment. Bilateral partnerships between EU countries and ASEAN members have already established some baseline support for renewable energy capacity building and studies.
This document provides an overview of energy security challenges in Asia and examines the energy profiles and strategies of major countries in the Asia-Pacific region. It finds that all countries are increasingly dependent on foreign energy sources and vulnerable to supply disruptions. Key countries are diversifying their sources of supply but also enhancing their naval and military capabilities to secure strategic waterways. There is a need for greater cooperation on issues like collective stockpiling and development of alternative energy, to help address shared energy security concerns.
The document summarizes key discussions from the 4th Annual Asia Pacific Small & Mid-Scale LNG Forum held in Singapore in 2015. It discusses how the Asia Pacific region is well-suited for small and mid-scale LNG developments given its diverse geography and energy needs. Specific topics covered include the impact of lower oil prices on LNG, challenges in unlocking stranded gas resources, Indonesia and the Philippines emerging as major small-scale LNG markets, and transport and power generation opportunities for small-scale LNG.

Annual report issued by the International Energy Agency. This newest report examines the critical role of price for crude oil in "rebalancing" supply and demand. The authors note the process of rebalancing (getting to higher prices) is rarely a smooth adjustment. Indeed! In the central scenario of this year's report, a tightening oil balance leads to a price around $80 per barrel by 2020--just five short years away.
The document discusses Sri Lanka's goal of achieving 100% renewable electricity generation by 2050. It assesses Sri Lanka's power sector and the changes needed to meet this target. Key points:
- Sri Lanka's electricity demand is projected to increase substantially by 2050, driven by economic and population growth.
- A scenario is proposed where 100% of Sri Lanka's electricity in 2050 would come from renewable sources like solar, wind and biomass. This would require major investment in renewable energy projects and grid infrastructure.
- Significant policy and regulatory changes are also needed to attract investment and manage the variability of renewable energy sources. Financial incentives and risk mitigation measures for investors will be crucial.

Energy concerns centre stage in Asia Pacific by Peter Godfrey
1. 2 Petroleum Review | November 2018
Perspective
PERSPECTIVE
The views and opinions
expressed here are
strictly those of the
author and are not
necessarily given or
endorsed by or on the
behalf of the Energy
Institute.
R
eliable and sustainable
sources of energy are key to
the long-term economic
growth of members of the
Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN). Yet, over the
coming decades the region’s oil
production will fall and production
of coal, along with other sources of
hydrocarbon fuels, will come under
increasing environmental
pressure, thereby fuelling a
growing reliance on energy
imports.
Infrastructure development has
continued to be hampered by
political unrest, regulatory
uncertainty and difficult operating
environments. Electricity demand
as a whole has been exceeding
supply by 5–7%/y and is showing
no signs of improving as
urbanisation rapidly accelerates
energy requirements. It is
anticipated that there will be some
100–150mn new middle-class
consumers introduced into the
ASEAN market place by 2030, with
the region as a whole becoming the
world’s fourth largest energy
consumer after China, India and
the US.
Indigenous natural gas
resources remain prolific and have
the potential to play a key role in
enhancing the region’s energy
security as well as its transition
towards a low carbon economy.
However, the pace of market
development remains hampered
by ongoing regulatory uncertainty
and a lack of any real effort to
develop cooperation and
coordination aimed at regional
LNG trade through shared
investment in market delivery
infrastructure, including
transnational connectivity.
Likewise, the rapid growth of
alternative forms of energy –
including, but not limited to
renewables – is held back by
regulatory uncertainty and a lack
of any real enthusiasm to develop
a coordinated approach. This is
mainly driven by a tendency
towards both continued promotion
of ‘energy nationalism’ and
preferential treatment for
state-owned and/or sponsored

energy players despite operational
and financial limitations.
Meanwhile, the rapidly growing
energy requirements of the
Asia-Pacific’s two massive and
rapidly developing neighbours
– China and India – are creating
additional stress. China has
promoted itself as the leading
source of infrastructure funding
and assistance in the region, but,
increasingly, India is positioning
itself as China’s direct competitor.
In addition to its land-based
infrastructure projects, China has
been working on its maritime-
focused ‘String of Pearls’ initiative,
which will connect China to North
Africa and the Middle East through
a series of ports along the Indian
Ocean. However, India – along with
other countries, such as Japan and
South Korea – is increasingly
looking at ways to counter this
growing economic threat, both in
terms of physical security as well
as offering alternative sources of
investment and support for
developing Asia-Pacific countries
such as Cambodia, Myanmar
and Vietnam.
Within this context, regional
security of supply is becoming an
increasingly important dialogue
for the ASEAN region as a whole.
Plug and play solution
Reverting to the LNG story, Asia’s
demand for LNG will roughly
double in the next five years, led by
China’s policy to decrease coal use
– China’s LNG imports increased
45% in 2017. Add to this the
relative cost effectiveness of
floating regasification facilities
and an LNG hub becomes an
attractive ‘plug and play’ solution,
with LNG-to-power one of the most
compelling components.
Many ASEAN countries have
traditionally been LNG exporters,
but this is now reversing as these
countries reserve ever-increasing
amounts of LNG for local use.
Indonesia is set to become a net
importer by 2022, while the
Philippines is building its first ever
LNG hub at Batangas Bay. Thailand
is constructing a floating hub in its
southern joint development area
with Malaysia. There is much scope
for cooperation.
Singapore, in its capacity as
ASEAN Chair, has been pursuing
initiatives aimed at building closer
regional cooperation and
capabilities in areas such as energy
efficiency, natural gas and
renewable energy technology
development and deployment,
with a view to improving and,
where possible, standardising
regional regulatory oversight. Such
an approach has the potential to
improve the attractiveness of
financing energy and related
infrastructure investments.
Singapore is also working with
international energy organisations
and financial institutions to build
sustainable energy investment
solutions for the region, with
aspirations to become a significant
global player in green finance.
Energy efficiency is also
increasingly seen as a crucial
component of securing sustainable
regional growth, particularly for
the more rapidly developing
economies that are experiencing
rapid urbanisation.
Development of ‘smart cities’
lies at the heart of the region’s
sustainability and energy
strategies, with building and
construction remaining a
significant growth sector as well as
one of the biggest energy
consumers for the foreseeable
future.
After a period of
experimentation, it is becoming
evident that the application of new
technology along with re-design/
re-integration of utilities and
services provides massive scope for
energy efficiency improvement
and smarter utilisation of urban
systems’ facilities. Adoption of
these new systems and
technologies will significantly
disrupt existing industries even as
they present substantial market
opportunities for others.
Governments throughout the
Asia-Pacific are beginning to
comprehend the scale of regulatory
change required and the need for
the development of a more
coordinated approach towards
developing ‘fit-for-purpose’
development guidelines and
standards.
The Energy Institute is looking
forward to developing strategic
relationships and sharing best
practice amongst energy
professionals engaged in the
massive global energy
transformation underway. ●
