Webinar: COVID-19 Energy Sector Impacts and Recovery in Southeast Asia
This webinar, on January 27, 2021, at 10am ICT, will cover energy sector impacts of COVID-19 in Southeast Asia.
Countries of Southeast Asia face unprecedented challenges as they respond to the global coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Energy demand has decreased, while shifts in the use of energy have disrupted typical means of cost recovery, system operations, and investment. How can countries across the region respond to, and plan for, the long-term recovery of a rapidly changing sector?
The U.S. National Renewable Energy will host experts from the Philippines Energy Regulatory Commission and Vietnam's RCEE-Niras in a discussion to explore COVID-19 response and recovery approaches and how well-designed green stimulus packages can support economic recovery, power sector resilience, and decarbonization.
Speakers for this event include:
- Mr. Nghia Nguyen, RCEE-Niras, Vietnam
- Ms. Floresinda (Rexie) Digal, Energy Regulatory Commission, Philippines
- Dr. Jennifer Leisch, Two Degrees Group
