Background

The International Energy Agency, Asian Development Bank, International Copper Association, Indonesian Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources and Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership hosted a roundtable discussion on Energy Efficiency Policy Recommendations (EEPRs) for the Southeast Asia Region. welcome photo

The roundtable was conducted 11-12 December at the Shangri-La Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia. More than fifty energy efficiency experts from public, private, international and inter-governmental institutions took part.  See: team photo team photo 2

The roundtable featured presentations on regional energy efficiency intiatives and national energy efficiency policy implementation, as well as discussion sessions on regional energy efficiency market opportunities and barriers.

This roundtable is part of a two-year, global collaborative effort to tailor IEA’s 25 Energy Efficiency Policy recommendations (EEPRs) to regional needs. The first workshop was held in Amman, Jordan, April 2013 and produced the first set of EEPRs for the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean (SEMED)/Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

This roundtable is the second regional workshop delivered by IEA working closely with ADB and the Indonesian Government. The result of the roundtable will provide the material for a chapter on the South East Asia region in an upcoming IEA report entitled Energy Efficiency Policy Recommendations for the Developing World.
