Key insightsCost reduction potential: By embracing a unified regional strategy, Asean countries have the opportunity to slash a staggering US$800 billion from their decarbonisation expenses. Asean power grid: The establishment of an Asean power grid aims to meet the region’s energy needs while enhancing energy security. Scenarios modelledDNV models three scenarios for the Asean power sector by 2050:Individual approach: Countries independently strive to decarbonise using their own resources. Regional cooperation: Unconstrained resource-sharing between countries, involving power interconnectors and hydrogen networks.
