Since
1951, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission
for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) has collected and disseminated
data pertaining to the electricity sectors of the region.
Over the years, the data has been published under different
names such as Electric Power Bulletin (1951-1960),
Electric Power in Asia and the Far East (1961-1970),
and since 1971 biennially as Electric
Power in Asia and the Pacific.
The
objective of Electric
Power in Asia and the Pacific is to
assist planners and decision makers of countries and
areas in the region by making available comparative
information on economic, social and environmental aspects
of the region’s electric power sectors, including
information on stakeholders in the countries in support
of network and partnership building.

Information
is collected through a survey questionnaire among utilities,
institutes and governments of the region. Statistics produced
and made available by other international organizations are
used to complete or augment the collected information.
The ESCAP
secretariat would like to extend its deepest gratitude for the
cooperation and assistance of the organizations and authorities,
which are contributing to Electric
Power in Asia and the Pacific.
