The ASEAN Centre for Energy and the US-ASEAN Business Council are pleased to present a roundtable entitled "20% in 2020 - Unlocking ASEAN's Energy Efficiency Potential" at Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW) 2017, one of the premier conferences in Asia for energy professionals, policymakers and commentators to discuss and share best practices within the global energy space.
Energy efficiency can be considered a critical step for ASEAN to achieve sustainable economic growth and market integration while also mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change. In this regard, the ASEAN Member States (AMS), under the framework of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation 2016 – 2025, have collectively set as a goal the reduction of energy intensity in ASEAN by 20% by 2020 and 30% by 2025 based on the 2005 levels.
The latest study by ACE, the 5th ASEAN Energy Outlook (AEO5), which is slated to be released on September 27 during the 35th ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM) in Manila, the Philippine, indicated that ASEAN is on the right track to achieve its energy intensity target; 20% Energy Intensity (EI) reduction in 2020 based on 2005 level (and 30% in 2025). While the region’s economy is steadily growing, however; its main energy indicators are substantially under the world’s average.
This roundtable will offer comprehensive and deep insight into the AMS’ path towards energy intensity reduction, as analyzed in the AEO5. It provides an open platform for policymakers, technology developers, and financial institutions in both the public and private sectors to discuss major technology hurdles, financial constraints and social challenges in pulling together the regulatory frameworks that can be developed to unlock the true potentials of energy efficiency in the region.
