To accomplish the remaining long-term target of 30% EI reduction in 2025 based on 2005 levels, it is important for ASEAN to highlight the collaborative efforts in creating a conducive environment in attracting investments, most importantly in developing sustainable fnancing models that suit the needs of each member states.

Supporting the above matter, the ASEAN-German Energy Programme (AGEP) – a jointly implemented project by ASEAN Centre of Energy (ACE) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) – has conducted a study that maps the landscape of energy efficiency in ASEAN, particularly in the relevance of its financing framework.

This study reviews the AMS targets, energy consumption, institutional and policy frameworks, key stakeholders, and various fnancial support mechanisms available for Energy Effciency and Conservation (EE&C) to better understand the status, progress, and key success factor of their implementation.

To support the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation 2016-2025’s goals for enhancing energy connectivity and market integration in the ASEAN, the ASEAN-German Energy Programme (AGEP) conducted a follow-up study to the previously released Levelised Cost of Electricity of Selected Renewable Technologies in the ASEAN Member States (November 2016).  This second study, titled Levelised Costs of Electricity for Renewable Energy Technologies in ASEAN Member States II,  aims to determine the current levelised cost of electricity (LCOE) for solar photovoltaic (PV), hydropower, wind, biomass, and geothermal, and help identify necessary policies to encourage fair competition between RE and fossil fuel power plants in the ASEAN Member States (AMS).  With a total 134 projects evaluated,this study underlines the main parameters influencing the LCOE in the AMS.

To support the great efforts of CLM governments in providing applicable policy and financial support frameworks, the ASEAN-German Energy Programme (AGEP)—a jointly implemented project by ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)— has completed a study on The Renewable Energy Financing in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar: Support Framework, Challenges and Policy Recommendations. This study supports the RE Programme under the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) and aims to provide a reference for policymakers and other related and interested stakeholders to explore RE policy and financial support mechanisms in CLM.
