Q&A and Facilitated Discussion
ASEAN Power Grid
Southeast Asia is connecting the power systems of 11 countries and 700 million people. The World Bank puts the investment needed at US$800bn by 2045, and the Asian Development Bank and World Bank have committed US$12.5bn to get projects moving.
The grid itself means cross-border interconnectors, subsea cable, substations and grid systems, plus the generation that feeds them: wind, solar, hydro and storage. Singapore alone plans to import 6 GW of power by 2035. Alongside the grid, the region’s wider energy build is creating work in oil and gas decommissioning, carbon capture, nuclear and low-carbon fuels including SAF and biofuels.
Large UK engineering and advisory firms are already involved. There is much less UK presence among the specialist suppliers behind them, which is where most NOF members sit.
This dedicated session covers where the projects are, who is buying, when work comes out and how suppliers get involved. One-to-ones are available afterwards at no cost for members who want to discuss their own business, including commercial market access support to get in front of partners, distributors, buyers and investors in the region.
