ASEAN energy officials set sights on regional power grid
Energy officials will seek to better connect ASEAN members’ electricity grids into a regional energy network over the next five years to better utilise the countries’ respective strengths and weaknesses in power generation, it was announced at a meeting of the bloc in Myanmar’s capital Nay Pyi Taw. “The main point of this project is to see energy used sufficiently in all ASEAN countries; energy means oil and gas, and electricity,” U Htein Lwin said,“Therefore, we are now drawing up plans for transnational electricity lines. We also plan to buy from China and are also discussing buying from Laos.
