Our CEO, Leong Wei Hung, joined a panel of industry leaders at the Rystad Energy Annual APAC Summit 2026 on 3 September to discuss energy diversification and strategic alignment in Asia. Moderated by Vijay Krishnan, Managing Director, Head of APAC, Rystad Energy, the panel also included Harsh*t Agrawal, Senior Energy Specialist, World Bank, and Gualdino do Carmo da Silva, President and Chairman of the Board of Directors, Autoridade Nacional do Petróleo (ANP), Timor-Leste.
Key takeaways from the discussion:
💡The “energy trilemma” has evolved into an “energy strategy conundrum” as geopolitical disruption adds layers of complexity beyond the classic three-way tradeoff
💡Even amidst an uncertain geopolitical backdrop, Asia is staying the course on energy transition. The transition itself can be part of the solution for regional resilience
💡There isn’t one single APAC energy playbook. Every market carries its own resources, constraints and priorities
💡Strengthening ASEAN energy integration will mean finding the balance between collaboration and each country’s national interests
💡”Just in time” isn’t the same as resilient. Real preparedness means planning ahead for both “peacetime and wartime”
Conversations like these are a reminder that energy security isn’t built overnight. It requires decades of planning, investments, and regional collaboration.
