ASEAN Centre for Energy

• Established on January 1, 1999 as an
  inter-governmental organisation that is guided by
  a Governing Council composed of the Senior
  Officials on Energy of the ASEAN countries.
• Core funding is provided by an Energy Endowment
  Fund established from equal contributions of the
  ten Member Countries and managed by a private
  fund manager.
• Took over all the commitments, responsibilities,
  liabilities, and assets of the 10-year long
  ASEAN-EC Energy Management Training and Research
  Centre (AEEMTRC).

Charter of ACE

• ACE is envisioned to be a catalyst for the
  economic growth and development of the ASEAN
  region by initiating, coordinating and
  facilitating regional as well as joint and
  collective activities on energy.
• To realise this vision, the Centre will
  accelerate the integration of energy strategies
  within ASEAN by providing relevant information,
  state-of-the-art technology, and expertise to
  ensure that over the long-term, necessary energy
  development policies and programmes are in
  harmony with the economic growth and the
  environmental sustainability of the region.

EC-ASEAN ENERGY FACILITY (EAEF) Programme

• Objectives
• Increasing the security of energy supply of ASEAN
  countries and indirectly of Europe,
• Increasing the economic exchanges between
  European Union and ASEAN countries,

Regional Design of AGMHP

• The activities in the AGMHP focus-countries
  Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia are not separate
  (sub-)projects
• AGMHP is one project that aims at capacity
  building by exchanging know-how, disseminating
  good practices and creating synergies between the
  countries, e.g.
• by facilitating intra-ASEAN exchange of MHP-goods
  services
• by upgrading local specialist to ASEAN-MHP
  experts
• By demonstrating best practices that are easily
  replicable in the ASEAN-region

  increase academic and research competence among
  Asian nationals in the area of clean and
  renewable energy and to exchange best practices,
  knowledge and technology transfer through joint
  research initiatives and guest lectures.
• Activities include seminars on Renewable Energy,
  Energy Environment and Climate Change and ASEAN
  Power Grid guest lectures joint research and
  forum discussions.

• RE energy systems
• - Promote alternative energy in SEA i.e.
  Bio-fuel,
• Ethanol, Gasohol, Bio-Diesel, etc.
• Key Areas of Cooperation
• - Local Manufacturing
• - Harmonization of RE product standards
• - Accreditation and certification programs
• - Climate Change and CDM
• - Capacity building
