The Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) holds huge promise for Asia. Access to energy services is critical in sustaining the pace of development achieved so far and in securing further prosperity for the future. The multitude of challenges-from volatile global energy prices, increasing sustainability pressures, and widespread energy poverty within the GMS-requires a strategic approach in developing the subregion's energy sector. The results of a formal energy modeling exercise make a strong case for pursuing an integrated regional energy strategy. Targeted and sustained policy actions, sector reforms, and private sector participation are necessary for a viable GMS energy strategy. This book synthesizes the outputs of the consultative process undertaken by the Asian Development Bank's technical assistance to develop a GMS energy strategy, and proposes concrete actions for a cleaner, brighter energy future for the GMS.
