Chinese firms are integral to Southeast Asia’s green transition plan, which will see nations across the region integrate their grids, official says
The strategy could eventually lead to a cross-regional network running all the way from Singapore to southern China via nations including Malaysia and Thailand, according to Puah Kok Keong, chief executive of the Energy Market Authority of Singapore – the city state’s top energy regulator.
“I think that possibility is very real,” Puah told the South China Morning Post on Tuesday.
Singapore has been working to advance cross-regional energy cooperation, including through a project to transmit up to 100 megawatts of hydropower from Laos to Singapore via Thailand and Malaysia using existing interconnectors.
Entities across Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia have also signed several agreements over the past year to jointly develop renewable energy projects and ease trade in low-carbon electricity.
