The Guide for Cross-Border Electricity Sales (CBES) serves as a comprehensive guide or framework in advancing ASEAN’s regional energy integration, facilitating power trade between Peninsular Malaysia and neighbouring countries, specifically Singapore and Thailand. The guide establishes two distinct schemes: the CBES Scheme, which governs non-renewable electricity exports, and the CBES RE Scheme, which enables the cross-border trade of renewable energy. Each scheme has its own set of regulatory requirements, infrastructure needs, and market mechanisms in shaping Malaysia’s role as an electricity exporter in the region.
Malaysia is leading the way in renewable energy certificate (REC) development, driven by strong policy support, abundant renewable energy (RE) resources, and growing demand from multinational corporations.
The country’s National Energy Transition Roadmap aims for renewables to comprise 70% of the total primary energy supply by 2050, with solar energy playing a dominant role. Decentralized electricity governance further enables Sabah and Sarawak to regulate their own REC markets, allowing for tailored RE development strategies. Malaysia’s REC market is shaped by diverse stakeholders, including utilities, independent power producers (IPPs), government agencies, brokers, corporations, and international organizations. Additionally, regional integration across Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak presents opportunities to harmonize REC markets, creating a larger, more efficient system and facilitating cross-border trade.

Integrating complex systems of variable renewable energy (RE) sources can introduce new electrical accidents, especially in the ambition of RE shares in ASEAN countries. These include risks of fires and system failures due to improper installations, overloading, and climate impacts.
Electrical accidents are still prevalent in many ASEAN countries, both in general, like in commercial and residential, and specifically related to RE systems.
Safety agencies in ASEAN countries lack independent agencies focused solely on electrical safety, which limits the effectiveness of enforcement and oversight. Most ASEAN countries still operate within ministerial agency structures, with complex safety and non-safety roles and responsibilities that dilute focus.
Restructuring agencies into independent agencies in ASEAN could follow models from developed countries like Australia, New Zealand, and the Republic of Korea (ROK) through the Korea Electrical Safety Corporation (KESCO). These models create truly independent agencies that are separate from political and non-safety roles, thus strengthening safety implementation through better regulatory intensity and technological advancements.

This report provides a brief overview of ASEAN’s power sector landscape in 2023, tracks energy transition development in the past five years, presents several scenarios on decarbonisation for ASEAN, documents policy changes in the past year and emerging discourses in ASEAN energy transition. This report presents strategies to fine-tuning policies to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and start the systemic shift necessary for a clean power sector transition, providing strategic guidance for policymakers, researchers and energy practitioners in the region.
The book of Start from Here: Understanding Energy Transition in Indonesia is a non-fictional book that tells the development of energy through its historical journey, the utilization and the importance of transition towards clean energy for a sustainable future. This book is first published in Bahasa Indonesia, to elevate the knowledge and education of secondary school students and the public. CASE Acknowledges how critical education is towards a smooth energy transition in Indonesia and how to ensure the just aspect of it. The book is free to download so everyone can have access towards education about energy transition.
Accelerating rooftop solar photovoltaics deployment for Indonesia's green recovery. Two years into the pandemic, global economies, including Indonesia, are still battling the coronavirus. In dampening the impact and recovering the economy, governments around the world have announced trillions of dollars into rescue-type and recovery-type measures, of which the latter is sometimes also associated with measures that are aimed not only to kickstart the economy in the short term, but also facilitate transformative change that is sustainable, resilient, and environmentally positive in the long term, or often referred to as "green recovery". This report seeks to provide analyses and recommendations on green recovery measures that Indonesia can adopt to recover its economy post-pandemic, particularly through power sector initiatives, i.e. rooftop solar photovoltaics (PV), given its deflationary costs as well as its quick-to-deploy and labor-intensive nature.
This publication reports on the effects of preferential dispatch of all existing geothermal, biomass, and impounding hydroelectric power plants, in strengthening the Philippine's energy self-sufficiency. Findings show that preferential dispatch for all renewable energy (RE) will increase the use of indigenous RE resources, diversify the energy mix, and reduce market clearing prices in the spot market.
The Preferential Dispatch report serves as evidence to the Department Circular No. DC2022-10-0031 of the Philippine Department of Energy. The report is authored by the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (ICSC)
This CASE Insight aim to highlight the frames or narratives on coal and how it may relate to Just Energy Transition in two coal-producing regions in Indonesia, incorporating the findings from a workshop on “How Regional Government in Kalimantan Accelerate Energy Transition through RUED Implementation”, which was co-organized between Project CASE and the National Energy Council in August 2023 in Balikpapan. This CASE Insight dissects the issue in three chapters: the narrative of the past and present, the narratives of the future and how to shift towards the just energy transition narratives.
