Kuala Lumpur, 17 October 2025 – The ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) has officially launched the ASEAN Renewable Energy Long-term Roadmap (RE LTRM) at the 43rd ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM). The public information session was held at the 25th ASEAN Energy Business Forum (AEBF-25) in Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC) on 17 October 2025.The development of the RE LTRM, led by ACE, builds upon the findings of the 8th ASEAN Energy Outlook’s (AEO8) that was endorsed at the 42nd AMEM.
As a continued ASEAN energy planning product, the roadmap centres on policies related to renewable energy (RE) as an effort to bridge the gap between regional aspiration and carbon neutrality.It provides a strategic blueprint to ensure energy transition is a cornerstone of the ASEAN Community Vision to become the world's fourth-largest economy, driving future economic competitiveness and sustainable growth. Serving as a foundation for the forthcoming ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) 2026–2030, the roadmap translates long-term vision into actionable strategies for implementation.

“The roadmap aims to be a sectoral long-term guide for the ASEAN Member States (AMS) in managing our shared energy future. On the technical level, the road map served as a unified regional framework that translate ASEAN high level renewable energy ambition into a coordinated and implementable action,” said Dato’ Ir. Ts. Razib Dawood, Executive Director of ACE, during his policy speech at the information session.
With the core objective to accelerate RE integration within the region, the roadmap goes beyond technical modelling by acting as a guiding document to facilitate the design of and implementation of RE programmes, while also presenting the region’s economic outlook for the energy transition.nIt offers insights into the scope of the energy transition strategy across various timeframes, aiming to ensure that Member States remain on track toward their RE targets and carbon neutrality goals. It also identifies opportunities for enhancing partnerships and cooperation across the region. By serving as both a policy guide and a platform for regional cooperation, the roadmap reaffirms ASEAN’s shared commitment to advancing renewable energy and achieving long-term sustainability.Click here to access the report.
