SIPET CAN CHANGE HOW PEOPLE PERCEIVE RENEWABLE ENERGY

Share your expertise and dive into in-depth knowledge of energy sector in SEA

Southeast Asia (SEA) is one of the fastest developing regions in the world, with energy demand projected to grow by 60% over the next 20 years. While the region has been undergoing a clean energy transition in recent years, several barriers hinder the acceleration of this, process including inconsistent energy planning, under-investment in modernization of the power grid infrastructure, and a lack of easy collaboration and knowledge-sharing among key stakeholders.

SIPET aims to engage with multiple stakeholders (government, development, private sector, civil society, research communities) and be a platform to discuss the crosscutting issues as well act as a key hub for knowledge and dialogue for its users.
