Gathering Support and Exchanging Knowledge to Enhance EE Financing Mechanisms in ASEAN

28 March 2018 -

The ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) together with a team of international experts provided technical support to ASEAN Member States (AMS) as part of the ASEAN Cooperative Project on Financing Mechanism Design for Energy Efficiency Project Implementation funded by the Japan – ASEAN Integration Funding (JAIF). Under that framework, ACE and the Department of Alternative Energy Development and Efficiency (DEDE), Thailand, organised the second workshop on ‘Energy Efficiency (EE) Financing Mechanisms and Innovative Possibilities to Accelerate EE investments in ASEAN’ on 25-28 March 2019 in Bangkok. The workshop aimed to present more financing initiatives for EE measures in the private sector, to solicit detailed feedback, and finalise the proposed national concept notes.

The two workshops of the ASEAN Cooperative Project on Financing Mechanism Design for Energy Efficiency Project Implementation funded by JAIF will be reported to the 23rd Energy Efficiency and Conservation – Subsector Network (EE&C-SSN) Meeting. The Project will also release a study on identified EE finance mechanisms in ASEAN. Given the interest of the AMS, ACE will develop a follow-up proposal to continue the fruitful exchange among the AMS to accelerate EE investment in the region.
