LTMS-PIP 2.0 boosts Asean power connectivityListen to this articleTransmission line infrastructure plays a crucial role in linking Thailand, Laos, Malaysia and Singapore under the regional power integration project. The deal marks the launch of the second phase of the Laos-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore Power Integration Project (LTMS-PIP), a pioneering multilateral electricity trading initiative. Dubbed "LTMS-PIP 2.0", the project reflects Asean's growing momentum towards building a regional power grid. Officials say the expanded cooperation will bolster long-term energy security, improve grid resilience and support Asean's transition to low-carbon power. The first phase of LTMS-PIP successfully demonstrated the feasibility of regional power sharing by importing up to 100 megawatts of renewable energy from Laos to Singapore, laying the foundation for a larger Asean power grid.
