Immediate objectives and priorities

. The programme will stimulate regional energy projects and initiatives proposed by the energy industry, either public or private, from the European Union and from ASEAN.

. The programme will co-finance groups of EU and ASEAN energy actors for the implementation of consistent projects which have a regional ASEAN dimension and which also clearly have a real European "added value", i.e. featuring the diversity of the European experience in terms of institutional or technological options.

. Stimulating projects, impacts of which are measurable e.g. in terms of energy produced or saved, pollution avoided, business induced between EU and ASEAN and intra-ASEAN co-operation.
