The Logic of Energy Policy: The Case of Upstream Oil, Gas, Coal and Downstream Oil Sectors in Southeast Asia (original) (raw)

Asia's Energy Trends and Developments, 2013

Abstract

Energy inputs such as electricity and fuels are essential to facilitate industrial, commercial and household activities. The characteristics of electricity and fuel demand are determined by the objectives of the main users: households need affordable, steady and safe availability, while commerce and industry demand an economically competitive, secure and sustainable supply of electricity and fuel. Thus the price and availability of energy are important determinants of economic competitiveness (through lower inputs, production and transport costs), energy supply security (to ensure stable industrial, commerce and household activities) and sustainable development (through sustainable management of natural resources, energy efficiency, environmental and climate control measures).
