The context Southeast Asia is a key pillar of Asia s growth A mix of countries with disparate energy and economic backgrounds but sharing a set of common challenges 120 million people lack access to electricity and almost 280 million without clean cooking facilities Energy efficiency remains a large unexploited resource across the region Rising imports sharpen focus on economic & security aspects of energy use Domestic oil, gas & coal production facing a more challenging environment Continued development will hinge on the strategic direction of the region s and individual country s energy policies
Fossil fuels remain dominant in Southeast Asia s energy mix Growth in ASEAN primary energy demand Mtoe 1 200 1 000 800 600 400 200 2000 2013 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% Renewables Nuclear Gas Oil Coal Share from fossil-fuels (right axis) Southeast Asia s energy demand increases by 80% in the period to 2040, with coal becoming the single largest energy source of region s energy mix

Greater integration of the power network can deliver strong benefits Potential implications and benefits of enhanced power grid interconnection (Based on ERIA study 2014, Investing in Power Grid Interconnection in East Asia ) Enhanced cross-border integrations can facilitate efficient use of the region s resources and enhance energy security

Looking forward Southeast Asia consolidates its status as an emerging giant in global energy markets The energy landscape in Southeast Asia continues to shift but dominance of fossil fuels remains unquestioned Increasing reliance on oil & gas imports will come at a large cost and will push energy security higher on the region s energy agenda Progress in energy access, fossil-fuel subsidies and energy efficiency is unfinished business in Southeast Asia A stable policy landscape and greater regional co-operation is critical for balancing energy, economic and environmental policy objectives
