  • Tool Launch: Climate tech nonprofit TransitionZero has released an open-source model, the "TZ-APG," to help policymakers and investors visualize an integrated ASEAN Power Grid (APG).
  • Goal: The APG initiative seeks to connect 10 ASEAN member states by 2045 to enhance energy security and accelerate the transition to renewable energy.
  • Key Function: The "Scenario Builder" platform allows stakeholders to simulate cross-border trade flows, estimate capital investment requirements, and analyze impacts on system costs and emissions.
  • Economic Impact: Upgrading existing cross-border lines under an enhanced business-as-usual scenario is projected to cost approximately US$57 billion by 2035.
  • Proven Feasibility: The Lao PDR–Thailand–Malaysia–Singapore Power Integration Project (LTMS-PIP), active since 2022, has already demonstrated the technical and commercial viability of multilateral power trading with 100MW of renewable hydropower flow.
