Southeast Asia

Introduction
• Energy cooperation among neighboring countries is
motivated primarily by common concerns. In Southeast
Asia, the common concerns are oil security and energy
market access. These two factors cement the bond
between net oil importing countries and net oil exporting
countries in the ASEAN towards creating regional energy
programmes. Two major energy infrastructure
programmes have commenced in 1999 upon the mandate
of the ASEAN Heads of Government under the ASEAN
Vision 2020 issued in 1997. These programmes are the
Trans-ASEAN Gas Pipeline (TAGP) and the ASEAN
Power Grid (APG).
• It is most likely that oil security and energy market access
are also common to Northeast Asian countries. Therefore,
energy cooperation could as well focus on gas pipeline
and power grid.

Conclusion
Beyond the barriers, energy security
and market access concerns are
bonding elements for NE Asia energy
cooperation as well as between NE
Asia and SE Asia.
