ABOUT US
regional context
Southeast Asia’s economic boom has been a double-edged sword. While it has lifted millions out of poverty and improved living standards, it has also relied heavily on fossil fuels. This dependence has resulted in a surge in greenhouse gas emissions, environmental pollution, and local health issues, further contributing to global climate challenges.
Looking ahead, the region faces a critical crossroads.
With energy demand projected to double by 2035, Southeast Asia must significantly ramp up investments in renewable energy and energy efficiency. This urgent transition is essential to secure a clean, healthy future for the region and the planet.
OUR ROLE
Our focus is on empowering partner countries, Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines to achieve a sustainable energy future that fuels economic growth and ensures energy security, in alignment with the Paris Agreement and Sustainable Development Goals.
We work collaboratively to mobilize and coordinate resources, fostering a robust foundation for renewable energy, energy efficiency, coal phasedown and resilient infrastructure in Southeast Asia
We work across four strategic outcome areas
01.
Policy Alignment with Climate Commitments
ETP helps governments develop and implement clear, consistent regulatory frameworks that support sustainable energy practices.
Our goal is to ensure energy policy aligns with climate commitments, paving the way to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency measures.
02.
De-risking Investments on Renewable Energy, Energy Efficiency and Fossil Fuel Phasedown
ETP bridges the gap between renewable energy and energy efficiency investments and financial institutions.
We work to de-risk projects and make them more attractive for investors, unlocking large-scale funding from both national and international sources.
03.
Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure
ETP develops sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure by incorporating smart grids and innovative technologies.
This includes improving national smart grid systems, reducing constraints on existing renewable energy, and enhancing cross-border power trade and interconnections to ensure long-term energy security.
04.
Just Transition
ETP promotes an equitable and inclusive energy transition by ensuring social, economic, and environmental considerations guide the shift to a green economy.
Support is provided through dialogue, inclusive planning, capacity building, and access to knowledge, technical assistance, and finance.
Underpinning Objective: Knowledge and Awareness Building
Knowledge and Awareness Building underpins all our Strategic Outcomes. Through this, we empower stakeholders with capacity building, and share lessons-learned across the region. This equips individuals and institutions with the expertise they need to drive the energy transition.
