This Revision extends the submission of proposals deadline from 29 June 2026 to 10 July 2026, introduces an additional pre-submission briefing on 2 July 2026 from 13:00 to 14:00 [GMT+7], and extends the deadline for clarification requests by applicants, until 3 July 2026. -------------------- The ASEAN School of Regulation (ASR) was introduced and endorsed by the ASEAN Energy Regulators’ Network (AERN) in 2024 as a joint initiative of UNOPS-Energy Transition Partnership (ETP), ESCAP, and the ASEAN Secretariat to address regulatory capacity gaps for regional power trade. Following Phase 1 and acknowledgement at the 43rd ASEAN Ministers on Energy Meeting in 2025, ETP/UNOPS, supported by the partners, is launching the ASR Phase II Call for Proposals to identify a suitable host institution for the School’s pilot implementation. This Call for Proposals (CFP) aims to operationalise the School through the establishment of a secretariat and the piloting of training programmes, research activities, and knowledge exchanges related to regulatory harmonization and regional power trade. A sustainability plan will also be developed to define the long term structure, programmes, and funding mechanisms for the School of Regulation. —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To see the funding opportunity, Call for Proposal, and all related documents, please check the Links Tab.
