In the sector of energy, the ASEAN Center for Energy (ACE) was established as a specialized body under ASEAN with its role to accelerate the progress of energy cooperation in the region in regards to the contemporary energy challenges.

By considering the organization as a part of Epistemic Community that has authoritative claims on domestic policy and relevant issues, on this case, energy sector, ASEAN Center for Energy has facilitated the process of energy cooperation through a variety of avenues. Among all, the establishment of ASEAN Plan for Energy Cooperation (APAEC) that covers multiple aspects of key issues regarding energy such as renewable energy through the RE-SSN (Renewable Energy Sub- Sector Network).
