Policymakers face an “energy trilemma” of ensuring energy security, affordability and sustainability.
The Asean Power Grid , envisioned to connect the national grids of Asean members, can play a role in solving this “trilemma”, experts said.
“For instance, if one country experiences a shortage in power supply, the interconnected system allows surplus electricity from another to be swiftly redirected to address the deficit,” she added. The APG was mooted in the late 1990s and its progress has been relatively slow. Only seven of the 16 power interconnection projects have been completed so far, according to reports.In comparison, the Nordic electricity grid , which was conceived around the same time, is now well-established.
“However, tangible actions are needed to upgrade grids to accommodate the significant amount of energy with minimum interruptions. “This serves as a testament to the viability of such effort and bolsters confidence in regional cooperation,” Kok said.
