A delegation from Enerdata France comes back from a successful mission to Southeast Asia, conducted in collaboration with our regional team from Enerdata Singapore. The primary goal was to understand recent market developments, meet with our key clients and partners—such as the Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the Energy Transition Partnership (ETP), and the Asian Development Bank (ADB)—and develop new collaborations.
The first stop was the Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW). Enerdata hosted a stand there, and our CEO, Pascal Charriau, presented the outlook for evolving energy demand across ASEAN. This topic generated significant discussions and many questions from energy stakeholders.
We then proceeded to Thailand, where we met with the active network of local development agencies and institutional partners.
The third stage was Indonesia, where Enerdata is currently leading several strategic projects supporting government Ministries and development banks. These projects notably include strengthening energy information systems and a hydrogen training programme.
The fourth and final stage was the ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF-25) in Kuala Lumpur. Our participation in this conference allowed us to highlight the crucial importance of developing power interconnectors, particularly through the regional ASEAN Power Grid (APG) project. Jules Verrière, our Business Economist, presented an analysis of the challenges the region faces in achieving an electricity mix that successfully balances cost, reliability, and decarbonisation.
The mission as a whole confirmed the significant progress within ASEAN towards the energy transition, despite remaining challenges such as energy security and phasing out coal.
Discussions with local stakeholders primarily focused on:
- Regional interconnection projects
- Development of renewable energies to meet growing needs
- Understanding and managing energy demand
- Emerging integration of hydrogen and stationary batteries into energy systems.
