In conjunction of the ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM) at Singapore in October 2018, ASEAN and IRENA signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to support the realisation of ASEAN Plan of Action for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) and to facilitate the scaling up of renewables in the region.

Key priorities to implement the MoU, as outlined in the Action Plan, have been identified as: energy planning; development of a regional renewable energy roadmap; policy and regulatory frameworks to support renewable energy deployment; capacity building on renewable energy-related topics; and renewable energy technology, innovation, and financing.
