Singapore, Laos, and Cambodia collaborate on cross-border electricity trade

The collaboration aims to achieve three key outcomes.

The Singapore Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI), the Lao PDR Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM), and the Cambodia Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) have formed a working group to promote cross-border electricity trade, advancing the ASEAN Power Grid vision.

The working group aims to achieve three key outcomes including a framework to facilitate the development of cross-border electricity trading projects in ASEAN, starting from the project between Lao PDR, Cambodia and Singapore.

The working group will also facilitate regulatory approvals and licences for the generation, export and import of electricity and will develop guidelines for subsea surveys and cross-border subsea power cable installations.

Lastly, the working group will explore facilitating commercial arrangements and developing infrastructure for cross-border electricity trading amongst the three countries.

The first working group meeting was held on 29 May, joined by Singapore’s Second Minister for Trade and Industry Dr Tan See Leng, Lao PDR’s Vice-Minister for Energy and Mines Dr Chansaveng Boungnong, and Cambodia’s Minister for Mines and Energy Keo Rottanak.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
