https://www.worldbank.org/en/events/2026/05/16/east-asia-and-pacific-energy-knowledge-and-learning-forum The East Asia and Pacific (EAP) Energy Knowledge and Learning Forum — taking place in Bali, Indonesia from June 3 to 5, 2026 — is the first structured regional platform for peer learning on sustainable energy transition in East Asia and the Pacific. Convened by the World Bank Group with support from Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) and international partners including the International Energy Agency (IEA), International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), the Forum brings together approximately 80 participants, including Ministers of Energy, CEOs and technical managers from power utilities, World Bank management and staff, and representatives from IFC and MIGA. The Forum program has been developed in collaboration with the World Bank Group Academy to deliver a cohesive and impactful learning experience for all participants. Over three days, participants will engage in high-level ministerial dialogue, technical sessions, and parallel sessions organized around six core themes: variable renewable energy integration and grid stability; regional power grid and market integration; utility digitalization and performance improvement; innovative financing for energy infrastructure; last-mile and off-grid electrification in the Pacific islands and remote contexts; and industrial decarbonization. A central feature of the Forum will be the launch of a Communities of Practice, designed to sustain peer exchange and technical collaboration well beyond Bali. By the close of the Forum, participants are expected to leave with actionable knowledge, stronger regional networks, and a shared foundation for accelerating the energy transition across the region. Expected outcomes include informing national policy reforms, enhancing the implementation of ongoing energy programs, and strengthening the technical capacity of the participants. © 2026 World Bank Group,
