ASEAN region is experiencing unprecedented warming trends with increasingly severe extreme heat events which can reach 38 degree Celcius in major ASEAN cities by 2050. Everyone is at risk, but not equally. Vulnerable groups, including women, children, the elderly, and low income communities, are disproportionately affected with gender deepening existing inequalities. As extreme heat intensifies, rising demand for cooling drives up electricity use and greenhouse gas emissions and creating a vicious cycle.
To address this, the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) (through the Cool Coalition and EmPower: Women for Climate Resilient Societies Programme) have developed a roadmap to promote passive cooling strategies, presenting key recommendations that can be adopted by ASEAN Member States to scale up passive cooling solutions and foster more resilient cities in the region.
This report explores how members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) can shift rapidly to a more sustainable growth model through investments that reduce pollution, enhance resource efficiency, and protect natural capital.
This report examines how interconnectors are approached today from the financing and business model perspective. It explores how, in combination with broad macro‑financial and market‑specific factors, current approaches may create challenges given the size and characteristics of the APG project pipeline. Rather than focussing on institutions or regulatory frameworks, this report approaches the issue through an investor’s lens – asking how these assets are financed in practice and what must change to make them bankable for a wide set of potential investors.
The “Philippine Power Outlook: Reviewing the Adequacy of Power Supply for April to June 2026” report examined power supply projections in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in the second quarter of 2026 based on the power demand and supply outlook presented by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP) and the Department of Energy (DOE).
This is the fifth annual release of the Power Outlook Report, which was first launched in 2022, where the reports have consistently shown that power supply issues in the second quarter of each year has been a recurring concern in the country.
This infographic, "Our Elec-tree-city," illustrates how Indonesia's current reliance on fossil fuels—accounting for 87% of its electricity—directly impacts national development and drives climate change. To address these challenges, the CASE project outlines five strategic pillars for reform: providing long-term investment certainty for renewables, enhancing system flexibility, safeguarding system adequacy, managing the retirement of carbon-intensive assets, and ensuring affordable electricity for all consumers.
The Kamus Kosakata Transisi Energi (Energy Transition Terminology) is a specialized guidebook developed by the Project Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy (CASE) for Southeast Asia to support journalists, media professionals, and beginners in navigating the complexities of climate change and energy transformation. This resource provides clear definitions and illustrations for critical terminology—ranging from Adaptation and Resilience to technical concepts like AMDAL (Environmental Impact Assessment) and Biofuels—to ensure accurate and informative reporting. By bridging the gap between scientific knowledge and public discourse, the glossary aims to shift the narrative in Southeast Asia toward evidence-based energy transitions and higher climate ambitions in alignment with the Paris Agreement
The ASEAN International Conference on Energy and Environment (AICEE) provides a platform for researchers to share their findings and exchange innovations to address energy challenges in the region. At its 5 edition in 2025, the conference adopted the theme “Sustainable Energy for ASEAN’s Prosperity: Innovation, Inclusivity, and Regional Cooperation.”
Following the endorsement of the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2026–2030 during the 43 ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM) under Malaysia’s Chairship 2025, the 5 AICEE findings could serve as references to provide inputs and recommendations to regional energy policymakers in supporting a more inclusive, adaptive, and evidence-based implementation of APAEC.
This ASEAN Energy in 2026 is the latest edition of one of the flagship reports by ACE. Since 2022, the annual ASEAN Energy series analyses the key insights into Southeast Asia's energy landscape each year.
