Highlights
- Technical readiness and close cooperation play a huge role in the restoration process: The restoration process emphasises the importance of continuous communication between TSOs, availability of black-startcapable generation units, and cross-border power trade with neighbouring countries to recover the system back to its normal operating state.
- Strong technical, legal, and institutional foundation enables the rapid recovery of the blackout: Key enablers include robust governance process, clear institutional framework, and strong legal foundation for emergency response, supported by transparent emergency information exchange mechanism.
- ASEAN should enhance existing institutional and regulatory framework for emergency response: Domestic grid code enhancement, guideline development, and institutional framework strengthening should be done to enhance ASEAN’s capability on emergency information exchange and restoration procedure.
