Kepentingan Nasional dalam Implementasi Proyek Integrasi Energi Laos-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapura (LTMS-PIP) sebagai Bagian dari Integrasi Energi ASEAN
Isi Artikel Utama
Abstrak
Artikel ini menganalisis keterlibatan Republik Demokratik Rakyat Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, dan Singapura dalam Proyek Integrasi Energi Republik Demokratik Rakyat Laos-Thailand-Malaysia-Singapura (LTMS-PIP) menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif berdasarkan tinjauan pustaka, dengan menekankan kepentingan nasional masing-masing negara. LTMS-PIP menandai proyek perdagangan listrik multilateral pertama di ASEAN dan merupakan langkah awal menuju terwujudnya Jaringan Listrik ASEAN. Artikel ini menjelaskan bagaimana kepentingan nasional masing-masing negara membentuk pola kerja sama yang mendorong keberhasilan proyek ini, dan bagaimana interaksi ini mencerminkan saling ketergantungan yang kompleks dalam hubungan internasional. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa LTMS-PIP berhasil ketika kepentingan nasional keempat negara selaras. Republik Demokratik Rakyat Laos menggunakan LTMS-PIP untuk memperluas pasar ekspor listriknya, dengan tujuan mengatasi keterbatasan geografis dan memperkuat pendapatan negara. Thailand mengamankan keuntungan strategis dengan mengendalikan jaringan transmisi wilayah Mekong melalui peran EGAT. Malaysia memanfaatkan proyek ini untuk memperkuat posisinya sebagai pusat transit sekaligus memajukan agenda transisi energi di NETR. Sementara itu, Singapura menggunakan LTMS-PIP sebagai instrumen diversifikasi energi untuk mengurangi ketergantungannya pada gas alam dan mencapai tujuan dekarbonisasi.
