Driving Asia’s Energy Transition: CESI’s Lasting Commitment

Asia is at the forefront of the global energy transition — a region where innovation, resilience, and strategic investment are key to achieving sustainable growth. Building on more than 15 years of experience across the continent, CESI continues to support the modernization of power systems in Asia by combining cutting-edge technology, regulatory expertise, and a long-term vision.

This commitment was reaffirmed during the 58th Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), where CESI hosted the seminar “Innovation and Resilience in Power Grids: Asian Perspectives” in Milan. The event brought together high-level stakeholders to discuss urgent challenges for the region’s energy infrastructure, including climate-related risks, cybersecurity, the integration of renewable energy, and the need for smarter, more flexible grids.

CESI presented a forward-looking approach to energy system resilience. This integrated model aims to create self-healing grids, capable of adapting dynamically to changing conditions and ensuring service continuity under stress.

The seminar also addressed the importance of long-distance interconnections for regional integration, along with the financial and regulatory innovations needed to attract sustainable investments. CESI emphasized the transformation of traditional distribution systems into “networks of networks”, designed to support distributed generation and maintain stability even in critical scenarios.

A highlight of the discussion was CESI’s ongoing work in Indonesia, where the company is helping strengthen local grid resilience through a combination of technical planning and regulatory support — a clear example of CESI’s value as a partner for energy transformation in complex environments.

Through its projects across Asia — from smart grid development and HVDC corridors to disaster recovery and policy advisory — CESI remains a strategic partner for governments, institutions, and utilities. By bringing together deep engineering know-how and systemic thinking, CESI is proud to help build a more resilient, interconnected, and sustainable energy future for Asia.
