News and Updates

World Population Day, celebrated on July 11th, sheds light on the challenges posed by the increasing global population. Transitioning to clean energy addresses these challenges by meeting energy demands, mitigating climate change, protecting health, and ensuring sustainable development.

In this July newsletter, we feature our latest blog posts, present data from SIPET's Power Sector Snapshots, share energy-related news and policy developments in Southeast Asia, feature an energy transition champion, share employment opportunities, and re-introduce SIPET's tools and resources.

Welcome to the May issue of SIPET Highlights! This month, we are excited to showcase a project of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) that is transforming a district around a coal-fired power plant into a sustainable, smart city. As part of SIPET’s Labor Day commemoration, this edition focuses on equipping professionals for the evolving energy landscape.

For this April’s issue, SIPET Highlights focuses on coal phase-out initiatives, including the Energy Transition Mechanism (ETM) by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), reports and perspectives from NewClimate Institute, Clean, Affordable and Secure Energy for Southeast Asia, the Institute for Essential Services Reform (IESR), and TransitionZero.

The phase-out of coal will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and accelerate the adoption of renewable energy in the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future.

For this March issue, SIPET Highlights provides additional information on efforts to accelerate work on the ASEAN Power Grid (APG). This edition features insights from the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), highlighting the economic case for full inter-regional power trading and power markets. Additionally, we are celebrating International Women’s Month and SIPET’s commitment to fostering inclusive environments in the clean energy sector.
