Infrastructure, Resilience and Regional Connectivity in the AI Era

Southeast Asia’s energy transition is evolving across a highly diverse set of national markets. Industrial growth, urbanisation and digital infrastructure are accelerating electricity demand across the region, while renewable expansion is increasing the importance of transmission capability, storage, network resilience and broader infrastructure coordination.

At the same time, the rapid growth of AI-enabled services and hyperscale data centres is adding a new layer of demand intensity, placing greater pressure on generation, transmission and grid infrastructure. As governments and utilities work to expand capacity and maintain reliability, regional connectivity is becoming increasingly important to long-term energy security, economic growth and resilience.

In this new report, TBH Director & Global Energy Lead Ali Nami and Associate Director & Country Manager, Malaysia Michael Tan explore how Southeast Asia’s energy landscape is evolving, the growing importance of grid infrastructure and connectivity, and the role of regional initiatives such as the ASEAN Power Grid in supporting future energy demand and cross-border power flows.
