WELCOME TO APUEA
The Asia Pacific Urban Energy Association (APUEA) was launched in 2017
to promote the development of sustainable Urban Energy Systems in the
Asia Pacific region. The APUEA platform promotes public and private sector collaboration to develop sustainable urban energy systems that support livable cities across the Asia Pacific region. Our membership and activities serve as an information hub to support city policymakers, program managers, and other stakeholders in the design, development, and implementation of sustainable urban energy systems. Through our activities, including APUEA events, conferences, and continuous outreach to our members, we share international and regional best practices for planning and implementing sustainable urban energy systems—including policies and regulations, business models, and technologies for implementing district heating and cooling, smart grids, energy efficiency improvements, and renewable energy systems.
APUEA Magazine, Issue 23, April 2026
In this edition of the APUEA Magazine, titled “Ai Loves Energy” we explore the link between AI and energy, and how it is shaping the energy landscape in Asia including the increased energy demand driven by the rapid growth of AI and data centers, as well as how AI can support more efficient and resilient energy systems through new applications and tools.
ABB examines how smart motors and drives are playing a critical role in supporting Asia’s AI boom by improving cooling efficiency in data centers. Qatar Cool explores the essential foundations required for effective AI adoption, while Grundfos reflects on the dual challenge of rising AI-driven energy demand and the untapped potential to reduce energy waste. The role of advanced cooling solutions is further explored by KJTS Group, which positions liquid cooling and Cooling-as-a-Service as strategic infrastructure for the AI era. Bluebee Technologies addresses how organizations can move beyond IT complexity to unlock the full value of AI-based asset management.
Informa Markets explores Malaysia and ASEAN’s readiness to support the next wave of AI-driven growth, the role of AI in accelerating Asia’s clean energy transition, and how AI is reshaping Vietnam’s energy landscape.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to ABB, Grundfos, Qatar Cool, KJTS Group, Bluebee Tech, and Informa Markets for their valuable contributions to this edition of the APUEA Magazine.
