The energy cooperation that is for a significant component of the AEC blue print, makes clear the need to have a secure and reliable supply of energy. This includes bio-fuel which is separately highlighted and is considered to be of crucial support to economic and industrial activities [1]. Another project to support energy reliability is the Trans-ASEAN Gas Pipeline (TAGP), created in collaboration with the region, the extent of which can be seen in figure 4. Thirdly there are ASEAN Power Grid Projects, all of which should optimize the region’s energy resources that are intended to provide greater security as well as private sector opportunities for investment, finance, and technology transfer [1].
Also worthy of mention is the Maritime Transport Roadmap to integrate the ASEAN shipping market in order to strengthen functional internal markets and The Open Sky Policy which is the aviation integration policy plan [1]. The plans also involves information infrastructure to create regional structure and increase security for electronic transactions, payments and settlements [1].
