In July 2026, ASEAN leaders highlighted progress on a regional power‑grid initiative, with Indonesia and Singapore signing a pact to export about 3.4 GW of low‑carbon electricity by 2035. The agreement was presented as a catalyst for the long‑delayed ASEAN grid, which at that point had only eight of the planned 18 interconnections operating.

By early August, ASEAN officials acknowledged that the bloc had fallen short of its 2025 renewable‑energy and energy‑intensity targets, with renewables accounting for just 16 % of primary energy in 2024. To address the gap, ASEAN announced a joint energy‑cooperation work plan with Russia for 2026‑2030, aiming to bolster both renewable capacity and fossil‑fuel security, including a proposed refinery project involving Pertamina and Rosneft. The shift reflects a broader strategy that combines grid integration with external partnerships to meet the 2030 goal of 30 % renewable share in primary energy.
