Abstract

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) electricity market is being liberalised in some regional countries. This step of opening electricity markets is aimed at establishing a competitive and efficient environment that not only reduces electricity prices and CO2 emissions from electricity generation but also promotes the wider use of renewable energy resources. This paper examines the effects of liberalisation on these expected outcomes in the electricity markets of Singapore and the Philippines during 2015–2020. The regression analysis results show that, in the specified period, liberalisation of the electricity market in Singapore has delivered price reductions and improvement in renewable energy share. However, there is no significant effect of liberalisation on the reduction of CO2 emissions from the generation of electricity. The results also imply that, with the electricity market liberalisation in the Philippines, prices for household consumers and CO2 emissions have increased. Also, the liberalisation has no significant impact on renewable energy share and industry electricity prices in the Philippines. To avoid the mixed results and strike a balance between expected outcomes, policy recommendations are given for ASEAN economies following the pathway of liberalised electricity markets.
