Energy Industry
Per ITA’s “U.S. Energy Trade Dashboard,” U.S. exports of energy products, equipment, and technologies totaled nearly $370 billion in 2023. According to the U.S. Energy Employment Report, the U.S. energy industry employed approximately 8.35 million Americans in the same year, a 3% increase from 2022. The United States is a leader in the production and supply of energy and is one of the world’s largest energy consumers. Growing consumer demand and world class innovation – combined with a skilled workforce and robust supply chain in certain industry segments – make the U.S. energy industry globally competitive. U.S. energy companies produce oil, natural gas, coal, and alternative fuels, as well as electricity from renewables and nuclear power. U.S. energy companies further transmit, distribute, and store energy through complex infrastructure networks that are supported by emerging products and services such as smart grid technologies.

Smart Grid Interoperability Standards Adoption for Southeast Asia
Gap Analyses for Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam
This ITA-commissioned study by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) provides fresh insight into the current state of smart grid interoperability standards deployment in five ASEAN markets: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. It also offers five case studies to educate policymakers on emerging clean technology standards that have been successfully adopted in the United States, but are either excluded in the five ASEAN markets or exist non-preferentially in tandem with other standards.
Smart grid interoperability standards are tools that drive value in the electric power sector by enabling technologies from different vendors across grid domains to interact. Smart grid interoperability standards are crucial for facilitating international trade, modernizing power grids, and increasing the use of renewable energy globally.
