AI boom casts doubt on ASEAN cross-border power trading
Southeast Asia's plans for cross-border electricity trading within ASEAN are being questioned as surging AI-driven data centre demand reshapes regional energy needs. Rapid growth in power consumption is raising concerns that countries may prioritise domestic supply over exports, complicating agreements such as the Laos-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore power integration project and the wider ASEAN Power Grid initiative.
Why now: AI's soaring electricity demand is straining regional power supplies, putting planned energy cooperation under scrutiny.
