Grids for the Next Energy Era: Finance, Flexibility and Resilience

The electricity grid is where climate ambition meets decisions about public spending, private investment and people’s lives. Expanding renewable energy requires more than additional infrastructure: it requires agreement on who finances it, how it is operated, whose needs it serves and how affected communities influence its development. 

This session brings those choices into a regional conversation. It asks how Asia can build electricity systems that accelerate the transition away from fossil fuels while strengthening energy security, protecting affordability and creating shared economic opportunities.
