Description
The Economic Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) is part of the UN family of agencies and organizations. It has a large area of influence, considering the large number and extension covered by its member countries. Energy consumption in the ESCAP region has experienced a rapid increase in the last years as a result of population growth, rapid industrialization of some of the countries, etc. The increase of electricity consumption is even larger, and therefore, the greater concern for adequate planning of future development of the energy and in particular, the electricity sector. The role of ESCAP in promoting regional cooperation on energy matters is highlighted in this paper, including current and foreseen programmes of ESCAP to foster this cooperation. A brief review of the energy situation in the ESCAP Region is also made to complement the discussion. (author). 4 tabs
