Southeast Asia stands at a critical inflection point in its energy transition. As ASEAN member states (AMS) pursue ambitious renewable energy targets, the region faces a substantial financing gap that public budgets and development finance institutions alone cannot close. Cross-border transmission infrastructure, which is essential for grid decarbonisation and regional energy integration, remains chronically underfunded, constrained by fragmented regulatory frameworks and sovereign risk perceptions that continue to deter conventional private investment.

This webinar will unpack the key findings of an upcoming IES white paper examining how third-party investment models can help mobilise private capital at scale to support ASEAN's grid decarbonisation agenda.

Drawing on country-level analysis of AMS power markets, the session will highlight the policy bottlenecks that constrain private participation and identify emerging opportunities across ASEAN It will also explore lessons from case studies such as Monsoon Wind Power (Laos-Vietnam) and the Green Energy Corridor (India), alongside the role of blended finance instruments in de-risking early-stage investments and catalysing deeper private sector engagement.
