IV. Smart Jobs & ConsumersSJ-1: Energy Efficiency Training Curricula SJ-2: Energy Efficiency School CurriculaSJ-3: Sister Schools Programs

V. Cross-CuttingLCMT: Low Carbon Model Towns (LCMT)KSP: Knowledge-Sharing Platform (KSP)


APEC Smart Grid Initiative (ASGI)

• Launched in June 2010 (EMM 9) , led by the U.S, Korea, and Chinese Taipei

• EMM 9 instructed the Energy Working Group (EWG) “to start an APEC Smart Grid Initiative (ASGI) to evaluate the potential of smart grids to support the integration of intermittent renewable energies and energy management approaches in buildings and industry.”

Fukui Declaration (EMM 9) Smart grid technologies (including advanced battery

technologies for highly-efficient and cost-effective energy storage)

• To integrate intermittent renewable power sources and building control systems that let businesses and consumers use energy more efficiently

• To enhance the reliability of electricity supply, extend the useful life of power system components, and reduce system operating costs


Suggested Elements of the Smart Grid Initiative

APEC Smart Grid Initiative (ASGI)

• Element 1 – Survey of Smart Grid Status and Potential

• Element 2 – Smart Grid Roadmap

• Element 3 – Smart Grid Test Beds

• Element 4 – Development of Smart Grid Interoperability

Future Prospects• The EGNRET will focus more on smart grid, low

carbon town, etc. which are directly related to the ESCI and APEC ASGI.

• EGNRET members are encouraged to conduct researches related to reduction of energy intensity in APEC region.

• The EGNRET will strengthen collaboration with APEC other fora, e.g., LCMT Task Force, EGEE&C, Policy Partnership on Science, Technology, and Innovation (PPSTI), and some projects, e.g., PRLCE and PREE supported by APERC.

• Collaboration with International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), and International Copper Association Ltd. (ICA) on promotion of renewable energy in the APEC region will be carried out as well.
