摘要

The Asian utility industry is fraught with multiple challenges including supply-demand imbalance, technological innovations,and regulatory hurdles, among others. While each country has unique energy infrastructures that require varying levels of strategic management, the advantages of learning from what others are doing and engaging in insightful dialogues are undeniable. The Asian Utility Week is one of the largest events in the region which brings together utilities, regulators and IPPs interested in the latest developments in the industry and who acquire valuable insights to make their operations more efficient and sustainable. Nearly 2,000 attendees from 581 companies, 56 utilities and 48 countries gathered in Bangkok, Thailand to take part in this two-day event last June.
