Summary Record of the PEAG 5th Meeting outcomes 2015

Summary Document. The report was funded by the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Energy Working Group. Distribution technologies connect to the distribution network and while they can have a positive impact on that network, they can also have a negative impact at high penetrations if appropriate measures are not implemented. Solar photovoltaic systems (PV) are rapidly deployed at an increasing rate and are reliant on a source of energy that can fluctuate daily, hourly and even shorter periods.

Summary Record of the Meeting outcomes

Under the Pacific Appliance Labelling and Standards (PALS) programme, several Pacific Island Countries (PICs) are introducing legislation for Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) and Energy Labelling, covering various types of electrical appliances, equipment and lighting. As MEPS and energy labelling are usually implemented together, legislation (and regulations) for this dual purpose are called “MEPSL” legislation in this Guide.

In an ongoing effort to solve the region’s significant energy challenges, Pacific Island countries and territories and development partners are meeting this week (July 21 to 23 Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST)) in Honolulu to share experiences on increasing the use of renewable energy. Key speakers will discuss comprehensive approaches to energy sector transformation, including the importance of enabling legal and regulatory frameworks, capacity building, and financing. The workshop will examine a number of Pacific case studies, such as different clean energy initiatives in Hawai’i.
