In a significant move to enhance regional energy cooperation, Singapore, Cambodia, and Lao PDR have established a working group aimed at facilitating cross-border electricity trade and advancing the ASEAN Power Grid (APG) vision.
Three key objectives
The objectives of the working group are threefold. First, it will develop a comprehensive framework to support cross-border electricity trading projects within ASEAN, starting with the collaboration among Lao PDR, Cambodia, and Singapore.
Second, streamline regulatory processes and licensing procedures related to electricity generation, export, and import. The group will also create guiding principles for the application and permitting processes for subsea surveys and the installation of cross-border subsea power cables.
