Public funding for international fossil fuel deals fell by up to 78% last year across a coalition of 35 countries, though members of the group, including Germany and the United States, approved new projects, research by a group of NGOs showed on Tuesday.

The agreement, known as the Clean Energy Transition Partnership, covers export finance, development finance and official development assistance.

Malaysia is keen to learn from the European Union’s (EU) experience in establishing a connected energy grid as Asean intensifies efforts to realise the Asean Power Grid (APG), said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof. Fadillah, who is also the energy transition and water transformation minister, said the EU has a comprehensive model of cross-border electricity exchange, which could help Asean member states anticipate and address regulatory, financial and technical challenges.

With just two weeks to go to the annual meeting of Asean energy ministers this year, host country Malaysia said that it would take a practical approach to addressing the challenges facing regional power grid integration. A top priority for member states would be to develop common technical standards and grid codes to ensure seamless interoperability, said Fadillah Yusof, deputy prime minister of Malaysia.
