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.
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
Territorial oil disputes, rising fuel prices, nuclear disasters and choking smog levels have brought energy issues sharply into focus in recent years. Opinion polls have highlighted the concerns from all countries about the safety, affordability and sustainable supply of energy. This paper from Ipsos Business Consulting considers the energy challenges facing ASEAN countries up to the end of this decade and how they will shape the region in subsequent years. As the ASEAN economies continue to grow, so too will consumption rates of energy and hence, fossil fuels. This could create further strains on overloaded grids and further pollution in the skies and waterways. Ipsos will consider some the technologies and trends that could help to avert this disastrous scenario.

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.

Dear Members,
2014 and 2015 have been very active and interesting years for SEAS. Underlining all this
is that the cleantech market for Asia has increased to USD 2.5 trillion, and Singapore is
located strategically in the middle of this huge market. The Singapore Government is
aligned and supportive in making Singapore a Cleantech Centre for Asia and will provide
funding for R&D and business development. In tandem, SEAS and its Council are actively
leveraging on all of Singapore’s strengths by growing our links within and outside
Singapore by setting the foundations for several projects in 2014 to take of in 2015.
Here are some of these projects:
1. SEAS signed a Letter of Agreement (LOA) in December 2014 with the Asian
Development Bank (ADB) to develop a Centre of Excellence (COE) in sustainable energy in
Singapore. This is the irst time the ADB has signed such an agreement with an industry
association. This Centre aims to train regional policy makers and government oicials
on renewable energy (RE) and energy eiciency (EE) technologies and how these can be
viably deployed in their countries. They can then develop and implement better policies
to attract investments for renewable energy and energy eiciency. This centre will enable
SEAS to establish links and strong connections for our members with the 46 member
developing countries (DMCs) that are within inluence of the ADB in the Asian region.
2. In 2014 SEAS partnered withThe CarbonTrust (UK), who have helped thousands
of SMEs in the UK become more energy eicient. Based on their experience, they will
be able to advise and assist SEAS and our members on how to best work with SMEs to
develop appropriate programs and mechanisms to make energy eiciency attractive to
smaller manufacturing companies.
3. As a representative of the energy service companies (ESCOs) and the many
RE technology and services companies in Singapore, SEAS is constantly looking out
for opportunities that will help our ESCO and RE members increase their businesses in
Singapore and the region. We therefore signed an MOU with JTC in June 2014 to help
JTC buildings become more sustainable. This will allow members to showcase their
technologies and hence develop innovative clean technologies in Singapore. This also
further establishes Singapore as a living laboratory for clean technologies and provides
SEAS members with a good reference point for their technologies and innovations. A few
projects by SEAS members have already been awarded grants and are currently being
test-bedded in Cleantech One under the joint JTC-SPRING grant.
5. 5
In the area of thought leadership, SEAS aims to establish itself as a leader in clean energy
and energy eiciency. In 2014, SEAS organised the irst Asia Clean Energy Summit (ACES)
together with the Solar Energy Research Institute of Singapore (SERIS), and the Energy
Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N), who were co-organisers. ACES brought together key
leaders of the industry, government, and academia, building opportunities between
these three sectors. Renewable energy issues were discussed and debated including
most appropriate ways to inance renewable energy and apply appropriate policies
as well as technologies. Attended by 800 delegates, ACES was very well received. We
hope to continue to build on this successful event to develop and provide members
with a platform to learn and discuss innovation and technologies, and also a platform to
promote and sell their technologies, systems and services within and outside Singapore.
Moving forward, SEAS aims to help our members grow their business through cultivating
more business opportunities in Singapore and the region. This will be aided by SEAS’
eforts to grow our presence in the region through our various projects and partnerships,
connecting the wider regional network with you, our members, in Singapore. SEAS and
its Council also continue to develop closer links to Singapore government agencies and
to work and collaborate with these agencies to promote and establish business and
technology upgrading opportunities for our members in Singapore and the region.
Capability development is also very important as we grow our businesses, thus we will
also work on providing more new training courses within our training centre in SEAS to
expand the capabilities of the staf of our members and also their customers. This will
mean more business and greater eiciency in services and management within each
members’companies.
SEAS is your association and the Council, Secretariat and I look forward to your continued
support and participation. We will continue to strive as an Association to support and
help each member to grow and progress in your business. May 2105 be a successful,
healthy and fulilling year for all SEAS members.
Warm Regards,
Er. Edwin Khew PBM
Chairman, SEAS

There has been much discourse about the role of sustainable energy 20 or 30 years
from now, where many reports describe the growth and rise in importance of clean
energy and energy eiciency especially in Asia. Even the recent drop in oil prices has
not caused that much concern as the price of oil has been luctuating and the number
of clean technology solutions available in the market has been steadily increasing.
However, this buzz and excitement isn’t enough to ensure a greater adoption of clean
energy solutions.
The Asia Clean Energy Summit (ACES) was organised to bring together three diferent
sectors that each play a large role in accelerating the adoption of clean energy. Held
from the 28th to 29th of October 2014, the inaugural ACES attracted about 800 leaders
from academia, industry and the public sector. SEAS was the main organiser of ACES,
and the Energy Research Institute @ NTU (ERI@N) and Solar Energy Research Institute
of Singapore (SERIS) were co-organisers.
The ACES post-show report, available on the ACES website (www.
asiacleanenergysummit.com) detailed the issues discussed during the conference.
Topics of great interest such as the rise of solar leasing as a low-cost business model,
and the importance of connecting renewable energy to the grid were discussed. Some
panel discussions emphasized the need for more government support to boost the
growth of clean energy. ACES also saw the launch of a few key initiatives that showed
Singapore’s further progress is becoming a hub for sustainable energy in the region.
ACES was oicially launched by Minister S Iswaran, who said in his speech that, “as
the deinitive clean energy event in Asia, ACES provides a good platform for decision
makers to come together to debate issues and focus on being future-ready. Shaping
the future of clean energy is a collective efort and we need to work together to realise
the full promise of its widespread adoption”. Throughout ACES and even in SIEW itself,
the theme of having a combined efort from all sectors of society was emphasized.

Launch of the Renewable Energy Integrated Demonstrator –
Singapore
The Renewable Energy Integrated Demonstrator – Singapore (or REIDS) was also
launched by Minister Iswaran. REIDS will test and demonstrate the integration of
solar, wind, tidal-current, diesel, storage and power-to-gas technologies, and ensure
these energy sources operate well together. REIDS will be located ofshore at Semakau
Landill and is expected to produce power in the megawatt range. This will be able
to power around 250 HDB 4-room apartments, which together consume a peak of 1
MW. REIDS is expected to draw in an estimated $8 million of investment in the grid
infrastructure and an additional $20 million of investments in industry projects. The
development of REIDS emphasizes how Singapore is a living laboratory for innovative
clean energy solutions and how this case study can be implemented in areas that are
not connected to the main grid, like rural areas or ofshore islands (which is where this
test is taking place).
Launch of the National Solar Repository of Singapore
The National Solar Repository of Singapore was the other initiative launched at ACES.
This website provides detailed information about solar PV in Singapore, tracking and
benchmarking PV system performances as well as providing real-time weather data.
Solar PV is one type of renewable energy that is growing rapidly in Singapore as the
opportunities for solar are larger at the moment, given Singapore’s location along the
equator and increasing government support for solar PV. Thus, to provide concise
information in one platform the National Solar Repository will enable relevant, up-to-
date data to be readily available.

The launches of these ground-breaking initiatives show how industry, the public sector,
and academia can come together to work on solutions to address our growing energy
demands. Solutions and opportunities will develop right here in Singapore to address
the energy demand issue that is being faced all around the world. These launches are
representative of what ACES hope to achieve and we look forward to bringing you ACES
in 2015, where more insights, and best practices will be shared by policy makers and
industry experts.

Developing an innovative cleantech industry
SEAS provides business development services in order to connect our members to
potential project opportunities, market connections, and business partners. This is key
to growing the industry and forging networks in Singapore and in the region. In our
9th year since establishment, SEAS has helped many members set up in Singapore and
make connections into markets in the region. Many home grown cleantech innovations
have been developed and SEAS has embarked on industry projects in 2014 to help our
members. Two of these projects are: the JTC-SEAS MOU and the Incubator & Accelerator
programme.
JTC-SEAS MOU
SEAS members vTrium Energy and Transkinect were each awarded the $2.5million joint
JTC-SPRING Grant call for cleantech solutions and SEAS is proud to have facilitated
this as part of the JTC-SEAS MOU. Under this MOU, SEAS members would be able to
test-bed cleantech solutions in JTC buildings to increase their sustainability. This gives
them the opportunity to test bed new innovations and take them one step closer to
commercialisation. vTrium Energy and their partner Heliatek will be inplementing
Singapore’s irst organic PV installation, which is detailed in the March issue of the SEAS
newsletter. Transkinect’s technology is a regenerative hump, where energy is generated
from the force created by a car going over a hump. SEAS member Ong Choon Sen’s
company Omega Solar was also awarded the grant for their hybrid solar PV technology
and SEAS would like to extend our warmest congratulations.
Incubator & Accelerator Programme
The cleantech incubator and accelerator is an initiative led by SEAS to develop cleantech
innovations in Singapore. Through the incubator, we helped Singapore-based
consultancy Climate Resources Exchange (CRX) ink a deal with an international lavours
and fragrances producer. CRX conducted an energy audit and advised them on solutions
to make their production processes more energy eicient, which helped them to save
energy costs. Vinod Kesava, CEO at CRX said that “SEAS provided substantial support
in connecting us to good potential clients and strong networks in the industry, which
gave us a good headstart”. Their client is pleased with their work on their factories in
Singapore and as their next project, CRX is looking to help make their regional factories
more energy eicient.

The accelerator programme aims to help companies from outside Singapore that
have developed technologies to expand their business here and in the region. Italian
company PH Power have many business products and services and knew they wanted
to grow their business in Asia. But they did not know where to start or which aspect of
their business they should focus on that would be the most beneicial to them. SEAS
helped them ind their footing in an important business market, charting a clear path
to expand their business. Using Singapore as a platform, and the networks they are
able to establish with SEAS and the industry, they are able to develop good projects in
Singapore and the region.
16. 16
SME Energy Eiciency Initiative
SEAS is also leading a project known as the SME Energy Eiciency Initiative (SMEEE)
that aims to help manufacturing SMEs reduce their energy costs. This initiative is
supported by SPRING and iDA, and SMEs can make use of the ICV Voucher, iSPRINT,
and CDG grants to fund the costs incurred. SMEEE targets SMEs in manufacturing
industries that are heavy energy users: food manufacturing, chemical, marine, and
precision engineering. We help connect SMEs to energy auditors who will analyse,
monitor and manage their energy usage. Then SMEs will be be presented with possible
solutions that will help them reduce their energy bills, and increase energy eiciency
and productivity.
To date, SEAS has advised 100 SMEs and counting, and many are interested in how the
initiative can help their business. We have helped some of these SMEs conduct audits
and we have begun on a couple of implementation projects. However, the initiative
has had its challenges in getting even more SMEs involved, as many SMEs do not
have enough upfront capital or manpower to commit to a long term implementation
project. SEAs has thus partnered with the Carbon Trust, who have been running a
similar programme in the UK for SMEs for many years, to develop a programme to
make the initiative easier to embark on, and ensure that SMEs understand how they
can beneit and sustain their energy savings and eiciency.
Business and Trade Missions
SEAS organises business and trade missions to the region enable our members
to expand their networks and grow potential sales through these missions. Last
year, our members reported $2.7million in projected sales from trade missions that
we organised. We brought 12 member companies on 2 trade shows in 2014 – the
inaugural Myanmar Green Energy Summit, and the Indonesia Building+Solar Expo. The
business mission to Thailand was also very well received by participating companies.
17. 17
Business Mission: Bangkok, Thailand
24-26 March 2014
The Thai government was among the irst countries in Asia to
introduce incentive policies for the generation of electricity
from renewable energy sources. This has led to rapid growth -
particularly in solar. Thus, SEAS brought 6 member companies to
Bangkok, Thailand, to identify opportunities in solar pv, biomass
and energy eiciency, to boost market growth, projects access,
and joint ventures in Thailand. The 6 companies that went were:
REC Solar Pte Ltd, Chloride Batteries Asia, CpVT, Actsys Process
Mgmt Consultants, Solareo, and Biosphere Capital.
Trade Mission: Myanmar Green Energy Summit
5 - 6 August 2014
Myanmar has huge untapped potential in renewable energy. The
government have begun inviting foreign technical expertise and
investment for participation in its hydropower, wind, and solar
sectors, expanding the capacity of existing renewable energy
plants and implementing new green energy production projects.
In view of this potential, SEAS brought 7 member companies to
the myanmar green energy summit 2014 to explore Myanmar as a
market: Canadian Solar, DNV GL, Kipp & Zonen, KSE International,
OV Logistics Pte Ltd, REC Solar, and Yingli Green Energy.
Trade Mission: Indo Solar + Building Expo
14 - 16 August 2014
The Indonesian Government targets to provide 17% of total
energy from renewable energy sources and reduce energy
intensity by 11% by 2025. Along with 5 SEAS member companies,
we spent 3 days meeting with a few senior government oicials
and Indonesian renewable energy companies. We were also
privileged to have two special guests visit our Singapore pavillion:
Maritje Hutapea, Director of Energy Conservation, at the Ministry
of Energy and Mineral Resources of Indonesia; and Harri Santoso,
Director of the Indonesian Investment Promotion Centre. The
members who attended were: Multi-Contact (SEA) Pte Ltd, Kipp &
Zonen, Datwyler (Thelma), REC Solar, and Clear.

SEAS aims to be the one stop information and training provider in the area of
sustainable energy, and we run training courses and conferences in energy
eiciency, renewable energy, smart infrastructure, as well as funding & inancing
of clean energy projects. Our trainers are highly qualiied academic professionals,
industry specialists, and professionals that are successful and sought after
practitioners in the area of sustainable energy. They have as a group successfully
executed a multitude of energy projects with varying complexities and demands
both locally & regionally.
Certiied Courses to establish indsutry standards
As industry processes get more streamlined and regulated, more quality standards
and proiciency courses are needed. SEAS is a certiied training centre for the major
energy standards in Singapore and the certiied courses we provide are:
• The Singapore Certiied Energy Manager (SCEM) programme
• The WSQ Perform Design and Installation of PV Systems and WSQ Perform
Maintenance of PV Systems courses
• The IRCA Certiied ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS) Lead
Auditor course
The Singapore Certiied Energy Manager (SCEM) programme ofers a formal training
and certiication system in the area of energy management. Another set of certiied
training courses we provide are the WSQ Perform Design and Installation of PV
Systems, and WSQ Perform Maintenance of PV Systems courses. This adds value
to the industry as more workers who are in industries that are relevant to solar PV
like building and construction for example, are equipped with additional skill sets
and this increases the number of qualiied workers in the industry. ISO 50001 Lead
Auditor Training is designed to give participants the relevant skills and knowledge
to carry out audits of Energy Management Systems (EnMS). To date, SEAS has
trained 787 certiied Singapore Energy Managers, 229 candidates in the WSQ Solar
PV courses, and 47 candidates in the ISO 50001 Lead Auditor course.
Raising Singapore’s status as a hub for
knowledge development
21. 21
Knowledge Development to boost business growth
SEAS has developed a total of more than 60 training courses to date that include
courses in sustainable energy topics and inancing. As interest in the industry grows,
more people ind that they need a greater understanding of sustainable energy topics
and how they can harness business opportunities. This is especially so for areas that are
in the early stages of development in Singapore like smart technologies. Some of the
courses we conducted in 2014 are:
- Green Data Centre
- Solar Power Financing
- Solar Thermal
- Wind Power
- Understanding Electricity Markets
- Demand Control Ventilation in Critical Environments (Cleanroom, Laboratory &
Healthcare)
SEAS does a market needs analysis to understand what type of capabilities the market
needs, and works together with companies, industry experts, and trainers in those areas
to determine the target market for these courses and develop course material. To date,
we have trained about 7,000 professionals in our supported or organised events. These
courses help sustainable energy companies and companies with interests in this space
stay on top of the latest developments and know-how in the fast-moving clean energy
industry.
Regional Knowledge Development
In addition to increasing knowledge capability in Singapore, SEAS has also begun
organising courses for regional participants to grow regional knowledge development
in sustainable energy. In March 2014, SEAS, together with Deutsche Gesellschaft für
Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, organised a workshop for government
oicials from the Asia Paciic region on how to facilitate private sector investment in
renewable energy. Yanis Boudjouher, CEO of ReEx Capital Asia; Thomas Pang, CEO of
Keppel Infrastructure Fund Management; and Andrew Aleck, Founder and Managing
Partner of Armstrong Asset Management, were some of the experts that led the session
of about 40 government representatives and policy makers from the Asia Paciic region.
For one whole day, policy makers were able to speak directly to private investors to
understand their concerns and how they can help address them. They were also able
to understand the kind of legislation they need to develop that would encourage more
private sector investment in renewable energy. It is through workshops like these that
SEAS helps two sectors of society understand one another in order to take down the
barriers to a greater understanding of sustainable energy topics.

Thekeystrengthofanyassociationisitsmembersandtheirabilitytoleverageofeachother’s
capabilities and networks. That’s exactly what we aspire to do by creating platforms like
our committee meetings which are small & sector speciic, and networking events that are
more general. Not only are these platforms where members can hear from invited speakers,
discuss about new legislations or a new project, but these platforms are opportunities where
members can seek advice, exchange insights and support each other. We believe all our
members are pioneers as they have all chosen a sector that is new, path breaking and could
change the way the world looks at how energy is produced and consumed.
Committee Meetings and Networking
Through our sector speciic committee meetings, SEAS is able to engage our members.
We had a total of 16 meetings in 2014 for the clean energy, energy eiciency, sustainable
laboratories committees, and the bioenergy working group which is part of the clean energy
committee. The sustainable laboratories committee and bioenergy working group are new
and were launched in 2014 as the impact that these sectors have on the industry as a whole
are growing. In the case of the sustainable laboratories committee, keeping the processes
in laboratories energy eicient is a huge opportunity in Singapore as we have many energy
intensive R&D outits. Thus SEAS has partnered with the Energy Research Institute @ NTU
(ERI@N) to launch the Sustainable Laboratories Group, to gather stakeholders to discuss
topics speciically for laboratory sustainability in the tropical climate. In October, SEAS
featured this launch in our newsletter.
To keep the discussions in committee meetings as dynamic and value-added as possible,
SEAS invites speakers to our committee meetings. These speakers are usually specialists in
a particular ield related to the topics to be discussed during the committee meeting, or
government representatives who can discuss pertinent issues facing the industry with our
members. Our committee meetings usually see about 15-25 attendees, but this number can
grow depending on the topics being discussed.
One of the larger meetings held in 2014 was the Clean Energy Committee meeting, which
saw about 70 attendees. Held at the KPMG clubhouse, the meeting saw speakers from
KPMG, EMA, and the Climate ChangeTrust Fund of Indonesia address our members. Gregory
Thomassin, Assistant Manager, Global Infrastructure Advisory, KPMG Services Pte Ltd gave a
presentation on “Challenges & Opportunities in the Regional RE Markets”. This presentation

beneits would be. He also shared what the key risks were, and what were the ways
to mitigate them. We also invited the Climate Change Trust Fund from Indonesia
also shared how they supported the government’s goals to achieve greenhouse gas
emission reductions initiatives. Representatives from the EMA updated our members
with the new enhanced regulations for generation of intermittent sources of energy
and got feedback from our members regarding these regulations well, creating a
dynamic discussion. There was a networking session after the event kindly sponsored
by KPMG and our members got the opportunity to interact with each other and with
the speakers.

Our new website with a fresher, modern look has been launched. It is easier to use,
and information about our various services, programmes and membership beneits
are clearly classiied. The SEAS website is the irst point of contact with the association
for many who wish to ind out more about sustainable energy in Singapore, or get
in contact with a member company. For example, many enquiries about the SME
Energy Eiciency initiative came in through our website. Some of our members joined
us because they came across our website and joined the association for the beneits
they would receive to their business. Thus the SEAS website is very important in
establishing the proile of our members, the association, and the industry as a whole.
Our namecards were also revamped to relect the fresh colours which is the new SEAS
brand. We produced marketing collaterals that our secretariat and members would
use often such as pens, lanyards, and notebooks as they would help reinforce our
brand. In using these items our brand would be visible to a greater number of people.
As a result of our branding activities raising the awareness of SEAS’ projects,
SEAS Executive Director Kavita Gandhi was interviewed for a special report on
associations under the LEAD grant in The Business Times on the 3rd of September
2014. SEAS Chairman Edwin Khew was approached for interviews about what
the association achieved in the Foreign Afairs magazine. SEAS council member
Christophe Inglin also contributed to the 6th issue of the BCA magazine BuildGreen.
Consistently communicating within the industry and with the various stakeholders
has helped in positioning Singapore as a leader in sustainable energy in the region.
SEAS will continue to raise the proile of the industry and of SEAS as an association.
