Japan is set to join the ASEAN power grid race. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is expected to announce Japan's support for ASEAN member countries in expanding their power transmission and distribution networks. This initiative aims not only to promote decarbonization and the development of renewable energy in the region but also to boost the export of Japanese technology. Japanese media suggest that Kishida's government intends to counterbalance China and vie for influence in the Asia-Pacific energy sector.
