Lessons from ongoing initiatives

Regional cooperation in energy has been evolving in Asia and the Pacific region mainly through five subregional clusters –– South-East Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, North-East Asia and the Pacific. The small island nations in the Pacific have a very different perspective on energy connectivity; while physical infrastructure is unviable, software for managing energy security risks can be better organized through close cooperation, and the countries also benefit by sharing information related to distributed electricity generation, mini-grids, renewable energy and energy access. The Pacific Power Association, which is a partner agency of the Secretariat of Pacific Community, promotes cooperation among 25 electric utilities.
