Energy Transition Pathways in Southeast Asia

Demand for energy services in Southeast Asia is growing fast and the energy policy agenda facing governments is not a simple one. What pathways can decision-makers in Southeast Asia take, and what are the impacts of these choices on energy security and sustainability in the region?

Keisuke Sadamori, Director of Energy Markets and Security at the International Energy Agency (IEA), will highlight key insights from IEA’s 2019 Southeast Asia Energy Outlook. The 2019 Southeast Asia Energy Outlook examines current energy dynamics and challenges in Southeast Asia, then set out detailed forecasts for energy sector development in the region to 2040. The central scenario provides a measured assessment of where today’s policy frameworks and ambitions in Southeast Asia, together with the continued evolution of known technologies, might take the energy sector in the coming decades. IEA's assessment of the adequacy of this pathway is facilitated by comparison with the Sustainable Development Scenario, in which accelerated clean energy transitions put the region on track to meet goals related to climate change, universal access and clean air.
