This sector has a young asset age profile of less than 15 years on average (compared to 40-50 years² technical lifetime of a coal plant) and represents more than $US200 billions of market capitalisation on Asian stock markets³. The continued heightened climate ambitions of many Asian governments and the rapid pace of technological progress further creates a positive environment for the net zero transition of the Asian electric utilities sector.</p> <p class="smaller-width">Investors are increasingly recognising their exposure to climate risks and their fiduciary duty to act. While they can redirect investment to companies and projects that will accelerate the necessary clean technology translation, they also have a powerful opportunity to influence behaviour, diversification and transformation among the most carbon-intensive companies through their equity and fixed-income holdings. This is possible through investment stewardship – including direct engagement with public companies to align corporate practice with long-term value protection and creation.</p> <p>¹<a href="https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/86ede39e-4436-42d7-ba2a-edf61467e070/WorldEnergyOutlook2023.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IEA World Energy Outlook 2023</a><u>.</u> This percentage is calculated based on electricity and heat sector emission, Page 280, Page 294.<br /> ²IEA, 2022 (p.75). <a href="https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/4192696b-6518-4cfc-bb34-acc9312bf4b2/CoalinNetZeroTransitions.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coal in Net Zero Transitions: Strategies for rapid, secure, and people-centered change.</a><br /> ³<a href="https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/935d2b45-97cb-425a-b866-1a14b2fc5e9a" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MSCI AC Asia Pacific Utilities Index</a> (July 2024).</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="flexible-columns content-section container-fluid top-padding-large bottom-padding-large content-end bottom-margin"> <div class="content-section-inner default-padding grey"> <div class="col-12 pl-0 pr-0"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 "> <div class="smaller-width"> <h2>The Investor Expectations of Asia’s Electric Utilities Companies</h2> <p>The program’s participants have agreed AIGCC’s <a href="https://www.aigcc.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Asia-Utilities-IE-final.pdf">Investor Expectations of Asian Electric Utilities Companies</a> and intend to work with the boards and senior management of these companies to:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Implement a strong governance framework</strong> that clearly articulates the board’s accountability and oversight of climate change risks and opportunities.</li> <li><strong>Take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in a way that is aligned with the Paris Agreement.</strong>Companies should have clear decarbonisation strategies with short-, medium-, and long-term action plans including a timetable to phase out coal-based emissions in line with 1.5°C temperature scenarios, such as the International Energy Agency (IEA) NZE2050 scenario.
