The urgency for Southeast Asian nations to switch to clean energy to combat climate change is reinvigorating a 20-year-old plan for the region to share power.
Malaysia and Indonesia inked a deal in Bali, Indonesia last month to study 18 potential locations where cross-border transmission lines can be set up.
Those links could eventually generate power roughly equivalent to what 33 nuclear power plants would produce in a year.
They are economically and technically feasible, and now are supported by regional governments, said Beni Suryadi a power expert at the ASEAN Centre for Energy in Jakarta, Indonesia.
The Association of Southeast Asian Nations or ASEAN is a political and economic gathering of 10 countries across a vast region, from tiny Brunei and Singapore to military-controlled Myanmar and fast-rising economic power Vietnam.
Experts describe imports by Singapore of hydroelectric-generated power from Laos via transmissions through Thailand and Malaysia as a pathfinder project,

NITI Aayog member Arvind Virmani has made a case for simplification of the whole system of business taxation as has been done in case of personal tax, saying faceless assessment may not work in all the cases.
Virmani further said that he is hearing from large corporations that faceless assessment sometimes can mean a kind of ignorance, because business by itself requires judgments of every expenditure.
"Business taxation is inherently problematic. And sometimes you need to explain it," he told PTI.
Virmani noted that business taxation for business doesn't mean only corporate tax,  it  also means the business elements of personal taxation.
"So, you can have a faceless assessment, it may work for 80 per cent cases but it may create more problems for 10 per cent.
"My solution is, you got to simplify the whole tax system for business taxation," the eminent economist opined.
In recent years, the government has simplified the income tax regime in India.
Virmani also reiterated that si

India-Russia relations have held very, very steady and we take great care to make sure that the relationship is working, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said.
During a conversation at the Council on Foreign Relations here on Tuesday, Jaishankar said that Russia's relationship with Europe and the West has been so severely disrupted in the wake of the February 2022 Ukraine war that Moscow is actually turning to Asia and other parts of the world.
The India-Russia relationship has actually held very, very steady, he said, adding that there has been the Soviet period and post-Soviet period.
Part of it is that I think there is an understanding in both countries that as big powers in the Asian continent, there is a kind of structural basis for having to get along, wanting to get along. And so we take great care to make sure the relationship is working, Jaishankar said hours after addressing the 78th UN General Assembly session.
Jaishankar said that Russia has historically seen
