NTS Insight (Jun 2009 – Issue 2) | Trans-ASEAN Energy Network and Energy Infrastructure Security
Abstract
The current global financial crisis has an impact on energy investments worldwide. However, there is room for optimism within Southeast Asia since Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states remain interested in energy development. In anticipation of a revival in energy demand in a post-crisis recovery, it is important for ASEAN governments to realise that energy security is not simply about securing supplies, but also ensuring energy infrastructure security. The ongoing Trans-ASEAN Energy Network project is used as a case in point in this study.
