Sarawak’s Premier Tan Sri Abang Johari Openg called on ASEAN nations to form a specialised, joint platform to advance the ASEAN Power Grid (APG) rollout. Addressing delegates at a regional energy conference in Kuala Lumpur, he explained that this body would unify technical benchmarks, standardise regulations and consolidate funding, thereby accelerating and simplifying the development of cross-border electricity connections.

He highlighted Sarawak’s growing hydropower output and successful public-private collaborations as an example of how regional power companies can join forces on major renewable energy ventures. Through aligning project schedules, exchanging expertise in grid operations and applying unified tariff and market frameworks, the envisioned platform could satisfy ASEAN’s escalating electricity needs, boost energy resilience and hasten the shift to greener power.

He further observed that a collaborative APG forum would support the digital transformation of grid management and draw in institutional capital by mitigating risks. In line with the ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (2021–2025), he stressed that this initiative is essential for meeting climate goals and providing dependable, cost-effective cross-border electricity by 2030.
