The Energy Smart Philippines Program is a project funded by AFD and the European Union (EU). It aims to promote the development of smart grids and renewable energy integration in the Philippines. The program focuses on improving the reliability and efficiency of the electricity grid and promoting the use of renewable energy sources.

The Philippine Smart Grid Pilot Project, supported by AFD, is an initiative implemented by the Manila Electric Company (Meralco), the largest electricity distribution utility in the Philippines. The project aims to develop and deploy smart grid technologies and solutions in selected areas to enhance energy efficiency, enable demand response, and improve overall grid management.

The World Bank has provided support to enhance the country's power transmission infrastructure and promote the development of a competitive electricity market. This project may include elements related to the modernization and improvement of the power grid, potentially incorporating smart grid technologies.

a) feasibility study on electric public utility vehicle penetration in Bataan;

b) policy advisory supporting electric PUV program; and

c) investment mobilization - preparation of investment proposal for mobilizing potential resources 
 

To increase access to sustainable and lower-cost electricity in Maluku and Nusa Tenggara regions, and strengthen the operational cap acity of the electric utility

1. Component 1: enhancing transmission infrastructure will finance transmission lines and substations at voltage levels of 220 kilovolt (kV) and 500 kV. The component will roughly finance 15 percent of Vietnam's transmission network growth during the period 2015-2020 by targeting key investment needs in major areas of economic development and where transmission overloads are already present or will happen in the very short term given continuous demand growth.  
2. Component 2: developing smart grid network will support modernization of monitoring, control, and protection equipment in 500 kV and 220 kV substations to improve the reliability of the interconnected power system as a whole and of some bulk-supply points in the distribution network. 
3. Component 3: capacity building will contribute to the gradual development of national power transmission company (NPT) to become an independent transmission company with revenues from the application of performance-based regulation in the transmission sector and support the efficient implementation of the overall power sector reform.

The TA will contribute to the policy action on electric transportation included in the policy matrix for the forthcoming policy-based loan on Sustainable and Inclusive Energy Program (SIEP) Subprogram 3, which is expected to be cofinanced by the Economic Development Cooperation Fund of the Republic of Korea. The SIEP has been supporting Presidential Regulation 55/2019, which paved the way for the promotion of EV deployment including charging infrastructure in Indonesia. The proposed TA will support a deployment roadmap, feasibility studies, and implementing regulations on electric charging infrastructure, critical to boost EV deployment. The TA will also help inform the proposed results-based loan for the Sustainable and Reliable Energy Access Program which includes support for EV charging infrastructure in western and central Java.

Project preparatory technical assistance reports are provided for small-scale technical assistance that identify, formulate, and prepare development projects.

Vietnamese power grid experts are utilizing improved capacities for the development of an intelligent power supply system (Smart Grid) which enhances energy efficiency (EE) and facilitates the use of renewable energies. The ‘Smart Grids for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SGREEE)’ project is supporting the Government of Viet Nam in the implementation of its Smart Grid Roadmap, which aims to promote the modernization and automation of the national power transmission and distribution system.

In its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), Thailand committed to reducing 20-25% of emissions from the energy, transport, waste and industry sectors by 2030 below business as usual

Main activities under TGCP-Energy are:

• Conduct studies and develop policy recommendation papers on GHG mitigation-related topics (e.g. Renewable Energy Forecast, Electrification system for remote areas or islands in Thailand, MRV system for energy sector etc.), and provincial energy data management roadmap.
• Design and develop innovative tools to assist the energy planning process, namely energy system modeling and the integrated energy planning platform.
• Strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Energy’s staff in renewable energy, emerging energy technologies, climate change and effective energy planning process.
• Develop provincial energy scenarios for Thai pilot provinces to support their planning process.
• Support the implementation of project / activities under the provincial energy action plan in the pilot provinces.
• Transfer knowledge and build up capacity of Thai institutions in the development of provincial energy scenarios.
