The ASEAN Renewable Energy Policies is part of ACE's effort to fulfill its function as a regional energy centre of excellence that continues to initiate a coherent, coordinated, focused and robust energy policy agenda and strategy for ASEAN. We hope that this publication could provide stakeholders with useful information on the current situation of RE policies development in ASEAN, to enhance cooperation towards energy security in the region. 

The scope of the policy recommendation paper addresses challenges faced by other players e.g. utility, project developer, investor, financing institution, etc. in addition to the administration and government. This will help in identifying challenges faced by other players in the development of RE and find potential solutions for the overall development of the RE market in ASEAN.
