The 6^th ASEAN Energy Outlook (AEO6) is a flagship publication of the ASEAN Centre for Energy (ACE) and one of the priority publications that is acknowledged by the ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting (AMEM). GIZ, through the collaborative partnership with ACE, has supported the ASEAN Member States on the development of the AEO since the 4^th edition in 2014. The development of the AEO reflects the relevance of ACE’s effort to fulfill its function as a regional centre of excellence that builds a coherent, coordinated, focused, and robust energy policy plan and strategy for ASEAN.

In the period of AGEP Phase II, GIZ will support ACE in the development of the 6^th ASEAN Energy Outlook (AEO6). The AEO6 is expected

1. to be the primary source of energy information, analysis, and projections in the region, providing deep and cohesive insights about the trends in energy supply and consumption, both at regional and national levels.
2. to show the impact in socio-economic development and environment concerning the effort for enhancing energy connectivity and market integration in the region to achieve energy security, accessibility, affordability, and sustainability for all.
3. to provide critical recommendations for practical solutions and policy recommendations in relation with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7.
