Accelerating a Just Energy Transition: Southeast Asia Sustainable Power Planning

The Regional Workshop ”Accelerating a Just Energy Transition: Southeast Asia Sustainable Power Planning”, will be a pivotal gathering of policymakers, private sector, and energy experts on 4 June 2025 in Penang, Malaysia. This workshop, jointly organized by the Ministry of Energy Transition and Water Transformation (PETRA) Malaysia, the Energy Commission of Malaysia and Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM), will focus on accelerating the power system transformation in the region and will be an opportunity for regional and local stakeholders to engage with CEM Initiatives and Campaign to exchange on best practices to address key challenges and opportunities.

The workshop will address critical areas, including:

• Empowering regulators to accelerate decarbonization, including regional and cross-border power integration.
• Matching demand-growth with clean and alternative supply, addressing new demand trends such as EV, data centers and AI.
• Enhancing power system flexibility – the opportunity for energy storage.
• Accelerating the Just Energy Transition – opportunities in critical minerals, supply chain, and workforce/skills.

Held during the week of ASEAN Renewable Energy Sub-Sector Network (RE-SSN) Annual Meeting, this workshop offers a platform for collaboration, knowledge sharing, and fostering partnerships to advance sustainable energy solutions in Southeast Asia.
