Building the electricity distribution grid Southeast Asia needs
Exploring policy priorities for resilient, affordable and clean power systems in a changing energy landscape
Event Recording
About this event
Recent energy supply disruptions have brought energy security back to the forefront of Southeast Asia’s policy agenda. At the same time, electricity demand is rising and clean technologies are scaling across the region. Together, these trends are reshaping power systems and placing distribution grids at the centre of both the challenge and the solution.
This webinar explored how policymakers and regulators can respond. Drawing on Agora Energiewende’s upcoming policy brief, the session highlights five priority areas for action: modernising planning and investment, streamlining permitting and connections, unlocking distributed flexibility, accelerating digitalisation and strengthening coordination between transmission and distribution.
Participants gained insights into how to anticipate grid constraints, design enabling regulatory frameworks and prioritise near-term actions. The discussion focused on how distribution grids can move from a bottleneck to a foundation for resilient, affordable and clean power systems, with particular relevance for Southeast Asia.
We engaged with stakeholders, including policymakers, regulators, utilities, system operators, and development partners across Southeast Asia, working to translate clean energy goals into concrete regulatory and investment decisions.
