The ASEAN Power Grid Financing Initiative (APGF) gained fresh momentum after the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the World Bank (WB) pledged over $12 billion to accelerate regional electricity connectivity and renewable energy development.
The APGF is designed to provide financial backing for the ASEAN Power Grid (APG), a flagship initiative under the upcoming ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation 2026-2030.
