U.S.-ASEAN Smart Grid Workshop - Partnering for Regional Power Cooperation

The U.S.-ASEAN Smart Grid Workshop will highlight regional smart grid projects and initiatives, U.S. smart grid technologies, and the regulatory frameworks, standards, and financing mechanisms available to support them. Participating regional delegates will represent power utilities, national transmission corporations, and energy regulators from ASEAN member states. Representatives from U.S. companies providing equipment and services to the power sector should attend to learn about upcoming opportunities in the region and connect with senior decision makers from ASEAN member states.

 
To further promote partnerships and regional power cooperation, USTDA is hosting a follow-on reverse trade mission to the United States for up to 20 delegates from participating ASEAN member states, which is scheduled to take place in early 2013. The delegation will meet with U.S. companies and associations, U.S. government counterparts, and tour utilities to observe U.S. technology and services.
 
These activities are part of the ASEAN-U.S. Connectivity Cooperation Initiative that was announced during the ASEAN-U.S. Leaders Meeting in Bali in November 2011. It will provide an opportunity to demonstrate the potential role of the U.S. private sector in supporting power efficiency, interconnectivity, security and trade throughout ASEAN and to feature U.S. firms with expertise in these areas.
