The ASEAN Power Grid (APG), first designed in 1997 under the ASEAN Vision 2020, aims to connect power grids across southeast Asian nations through cross-border transmission lines and standardized markets.
The ASEAN Power Grid plays a key role in advancing regional integration by connecting the power systems of member countries. The ASEAN Power Grid will foster stronger economic ties through regional energy trade while facilitating the integration of diverse energy sources, including vast renewable energy resources available in the region.
Without action, the region could face power shortages, higher electricity costs, and increased dependence on fossil fuels. Given that some ASEAN countries have surplus energy while others face shortages, a regional grid would enable efficient power sharing ensuring a more reliable and balanced energy supply.
A fully connected ASEAN Power Grid by 2045 is not just about power exchange — it is about enhancing regional competitiveness and improving the quality of life across our region.
