Presidents MessageSoutheast Asia has a population of approximately 600 million people. In 2011, the subregion enjoyed a combined gross domestic product of USD 2,178 billion.

Southeast Asia provides a large and growing pool of highly skilled, low-cost workers, shaped over years of domestic and foreign capital investment. The confluence of advantageous factors has rallied Southeast Asian development and remains its competitive strength.

As the United Nations intensify cooperation among member states, Asia has taken a great leap forward in regional economic integration during the next decade. The 10-member Association of South-East Asian Nations (ASEAN) is taking the lead in an ambitious drive to strengthen trade and economic links in their respective regions. An ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) was planned for 2015 to nurture ASEAN as a single market and production base, a highly competitive economic region that offers equitable economic development, fully integrated into the global economy.

According to studies undertaken by the Asian Development Bank, economic growth in Southeast Asia has slightly rose in 2012 due to stronger-than expected results through the third quarter of the year in several well-performing economies.

Malaysias domestic demand continues to be strong, driven by private consumption and both private and public investment. The Philippine economy beat expectations as growth accelerated to 7.1% in the third quarter, compared with 3.2% in the same period last year. In Thailand, the economy is expecting a strong rebound due to the low base effect from the impact of last years floods.

The other Southeast Asian economies are holding up relatively well. Overall growth in this sub-region is forecast at 5.3% in 2012 before edging up to 5.5% in 2013. The top five ASEAN economies will continue to grow at 5.9% and 5.8% in 2012 and 2013.

A key success factor at ICASEA lies in its ability to serve as a responsive business partner to regional marketing bodies that shares common interest in the promotion of sustainable energy and electrical connectivity.Forinstance,activeparticipationintheAsia-PacificEconomicCooperationinthedriveforenergy stability and security provided ICASEA a strong foundation to promote energy efficiency and pro-copper messages. Our program involvement with UNEP Southeast Asia Climate Change Network, Alliance forMindanaoOff-GridRenewableEnergyofUSAID,Asia-PacificDialogueonCleanEnergyGovernance,Policy and Regulation Dialogue, and other multi-lateral agencies are testaments to effective business plans to drive market transformation that will serve positive copper tonnage results.

As the new President of the ICASEA Board, I am pleased to witness the market development efforts contained in this annual report. And I shall take this opportunity to stress the need to continue our pursuit for the ICA mission i.e. to defend and grow markets for copper based on its superior technical performance and its contribution to a higher quality of life, as we adapt to a dynamically changing world around us.

This annual event brought together key management and technical representatives of ten Utilities under the LMS Harmonisation Programme. In June, this event was organised jointly with the Metropolitan Electricity Authority (MEA)inBangkok.Thethemeforthis6thHarmonisationForumwasAssetManagementwithspecialfocusonpower transmission and distribution.

An memorandum of understanding was signed with MEA to renew the partnership in driving the LMS Harmonisation Programme to the next level. Another memorandum of understanding was also signed with the Northern Power Corporation of Vietnam to participate in the LMS Harmonisation Programme.

Advancing Renewable Energy in Vietnam

ICASEA signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Vietnam Electricity (EVN) on promoting wind power interconnection standards in the electricity market. ICASEA led a project inception meeting with EVN and key stakeholders to clarify project objectives, methodology and work plan. The series of meetings with EVN and other stakeholders gathered key and initial inputs for establishing technical criteria and developing the interconnection guidelines.

In December, ICASEA conducted stakeholders consultations on the draft of technical criteria for wind power interconnection. This event was imperative to validate and verify recommendations from international consultants. In 2013 and beyond, ICASEA will be looking into further developing market development opportunities in energy efficiency and renewable energy in Southeast Asia. We will also be collaborating with larger network of multi-lateral agencies to expand and extend our market transformation.

EnergyAccess&AlternativeEnergySoutheast Asia faces challenges of very high energy demand growth, large part of the population remaining without access to electricity (160 million or 28% of the regions total), andincreasingGHGemissions(thegap in per capita emissions with the developed countries is narrowing from a factor of six to three).

Renewable energy options, both on-grid and off-grid, may provide solutions to these challenges.

Renewable energy technologies that have large potential in Southeast Asia, in terms of both resource endowment and application, are solar and wind (both on-grid and off-grid options), centralized and distributed biomass generation (particularly from agro-industries), and hydropower (including mini- and micro-hydro).

In addition, Indonesia and the Philippines have large geothermal resources that remain untapped.

The key objective of this program is to increase copper consumption through increased uptake of renewable energy technologies (with high copper contents) in Southeast Asia.

Strategic Approach

The strategic approach for this program is based on the elimination or removal of different types of barriers

Regulatory and Institutional barriers- Support the introduction of favorable regulatory frameworks

and policy mechanisms to encourage investments in renewable energy technologies.

- Build capacity of policy makers on these regulatory changes

Technical barriers- Collaborate with supply chain to promote and raise

awareness on the benefit of copper based technologies- Build local technical capacity to operate and maintain

renewable energy technologies- Address technical issues in integrating renewable energy

technologies to existing power systems

Financialandcommercialbarriers- Increase awareness of the financial sector on the viability of

renewable energy investments- Build their capacity to evaluate or conduct due diligence of

renewable energy projects - Explore potential of carbon finance in overcoming financial

barriers- Identify and develop commercial models in the region that

showcase viability of renewable energy projects- Build capacity of entrepreneurs to develop and implement

renewable energy projects
