Thematic Track Session 1.3 Policy and Regulatory Frameworks for Energy Security

Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument

The session provides valuable insights into the policy and regulatory challenges of energy security in Southeast Asia. Speakers present concrete initiatives like the ASEAN School of Regulation and the APG Advancement Programme, backed by institutional expertise. The argumentation is coherent, linking regulatory capacity to energy security and economic growth. However, some claims lack detailed evidence, and the discussion is more qualitative than quantitative.
