Power and Energy Infrastructure

Energy security is key to economic growth.

BIMP-EAGA needs reliable, affordable, and sustainable sources of energy. The subregion has abundant energy resources, but many areas have limited or no access to electricity. This has slowed development in the subregion, especially in rural areas.

The BIMP-EAGA Power and Energy Infrastructure Cluster’s overarching goal is to create a resilient, inclusive, reliable, sustainable, and clean energy system—enabled by regional interconnectivity, public–private collaboration, low-carbon innovation, and increased renewable energy generation—that drives economic transformation and climate-aligned growth across the subregion.

Strategic Priorities

1. Accelerate renewable energy deployment and interconnectivity.

2. Promote energy efficiency measures.

3. Improve capacity of human resources across the BIMPEAGA energy sector.

4. Support regulatory harmonization and policy enablers through stronger engagement with local governments, national and regional energy institutions, development partners, and the private sector.
