PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) supports in leading the feasibility study aimed at exploring the potential for new cross-border power interconnections between Indonesia and Malaysia.
Set to commence in early 2024, the study will assess the feasibility of establishing cross-border interconnections between Sumatra and Peninsular Malaysia, as well as between Kalimantan and Sabah. These proposed interconnections, recommended by the ASEAN Interconnection Masterplan Study (AIMS III), are critical for facilitating a more integrated, sustainable, resilient and affordable energy landscape across Southeast Asia, especially in the southern and eastern sub-systems.
The study will provide comprehensive insights into the technical, economic, financing and environmental aspects of the proposed interconnections. By identifying viable pathways for enhanced power exchange between Indonesia and Malaysia, the study aims to lay the groundwork for significant infrastructure projects that will bolster energy security, facilitate economic development, and support the region’s transition to a more sustainable energy mix.
