This meeting brought together APEC member economiesand international experts to exchange energy efficiency and conservation policy and actionstowards the APEC aspirational target of reducing aggregate energy intensity by 45 percentfrom 2005 levels by 2035. The workshop is a full day event to provide a capacity building opportunity regardingelectrification and energy efficiency in designing the effective policies and programs alongsideelectrification, demand flexibility and energy efficiency. It will include economy’s practicaltrends in energy efficiency, electrification, and best practices to simulate energy efficiencymarket through presentations and discussions from prominent experts in energy efficiency. Opening Remarks To open the APEC Workshop, Mr Munehisa Yamashiro, the Vice President of APERC,delivered opening remarks. Mr Yamashiro first thanked governmentof the Philippinesto hostthis workshop, and additionally thanked the Global America Business Institute (GABI) for theirefforts in preparing this workshop as well as the participants from member economy fortraveling overseas to join this international conference. Finally,Mr Yamashiro gave thanks toEGEEC and the APEC Secretariat. For the first time in four years, the APEC workshop was held in-person, and this year, thefocus of the theme is electrification and energy efficiency. The Vice President mentioned thatelectrification is a basic trend in the current energy transition, therefore, it is important toimprove energy efficiency related to electrification not only for decarbonization, but also energysecurity. Because of this trend, this workshop was organized into two parts. The first partfocuseson energy efficiency in the power sector,and the second part will discusselectrification and energy efficiency in energy end use sectors. The hope of this workshop isto allow for the opportunity for APEC members to develop good energy efficiency policiesrelated to electrification. Afterwards, the moderator of the conference, Ms Florence Lowe-Lee, President and Founderof the Global America Business Institute (GABI) introduced herself, her organization, andexpressed her gratitude to the organizers for putting together the program. GABI is a policyfocused clean energy organization in Washington with a wide audience of policymakers,industry, academia, and more. She mentioned that energy efficiency is one of the mostpromising opportunities for meeting climate change goals, and that in the US, approximately60% of the power is lost from producers to consumers, and up to 30% of the remaining energy is lost from end users using equipment of low efficiency. Focusing on delivering energyefficiency solutions should be the focus of the coming presentations. Session 1.
