Connecting Asia to accelerate decarbonisation

Introducing the Asia Green Grid Network

The Asia Green Grid Network (AGGN) is a collaborative hub of industry experts helping drive electricity grid innovation in Asia

  • Industry knowledge and leadership
  • Contribute your expertise
  • Lectures and collaboration discussions
  • The latest research and ideas

What is the mission?

To drive innovation for renewable electricity grid connectivity across Asia, tackling technical and logistical issues spanning transmission, generation and storage.

A renewable, sustainable and secure future

What will it do?

Collaborate

Bringing together research, industry and business to share knowledge and ideas on key green grid areas.

Educate

Delivering lectures on important topics of green grid development, including HVDC transmission and policy best practices, promoting capability-building in Singapore.

Innovate

Conducting collaborative R&D activities with partners, with potential eligibility for future funding.

Global electricity grid connectivity

Who will be involved?

A range of research institutions and corporations from across Singapore. The network will later be expanded to include institutions from Australia, Indonesia and eventually other parts of Asia.

Regional Grid Integration Opportunities and Benefits

Electricity connectivity opportunities

Asia Pacific gets 71% of its electricity from fossil fuel sources today. Electricity demand in the Asia-Pacific will increase by 70% to 2040 and more than double to 2050.

Asia-Pacific has limited capacity to add locally-produced renewable energy due to land and resource constraints.

Asia-Pacific needs to supply rapidly-increasing electricity demand whilst simultaneously decarbonising its electricity supply.
