A COMPREHENSIVE 3-DAY PROGRAMME FOR THE INDUSTRYBY THE INDUSTRY

STRATEGICCONFERENCE


WELCOME TO THE STRATEGIC CONFERENCE45% of future global renewables and clean energy investments will be made in Asia and ASEAN. According to Wood Mackenzie’s 2020 forecast, Asia will attract $1.5 trillion worth of clean energy investments during the next 10 years. This accelerated investment in clean and renewable energy has intrinsic ties to the region’s GDP tripling by 2040. To meet these needs and ensure sustainable development, the region will need to develop clear policies, leverage new technology innovation in renewables, hydrogen and carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions, and most importantly accelerate investments in clean energy. The 2021 edition of Asia Clean Energy Summit (ACES) is the most important regional platform to share and co-create innovative clean energy solutions and pathways. ACES 2021 also powers Singapore’s ambition to be the clean energy hub for Asia.

Taking place live and in person from 26-28 October at Marina Bay Sands (Singapore), and in conjunction with Singapore International Energy Week (SIEW), ACES will provide a common platform for global energy leaders in both the public and private sector to collaborate on critical issues and develop opportunities for harnessing clean energy for the future.

Join us at this year’s ACES and get a front row seat at the year’s most important clean energy development summit for the region.

DAY ONE – 26TH OCTOBER 2021


9.00 Welcome Address Edwin Khew, Chairman, Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore

9.05 Opening Address – Guest of HonourDr Tan See Leng, Minister for Manpower and Second Minister for Trade and Industry, Singapore

9.15 Renewable Energy without Borders: infrastructure development for sustainable developmentEnergy demand in Southeast Asia is expected to grow rapidly in the coming decades, almost tripling from 789TWh in 2013 to about 2,200TWh in 2040.The creation of a regional power system serves to improve energy security, reliability and electricity generation.

Regional interconnection could allow Singapore to tap on renewable sources for its electricity demand to help its journey towards net zero by 2050. Greater interconnections with our neighbouring countries would also support the establishing of a larger regional market for electricity trading, promoting investments and ultimately enhancing regional electricity supply security

This panel/Fireside chat with a country focus on Indonesia will explore the challenges and opportunities of cross border transmission for renewable energy and its role in transition to a low carbon future in a growing Asia.

9.40 Energy Ministerial Keynotes – Accelerating ASEAN’s Energy Transition ASEAN is at a critical junction of the energy transition. ASEAN Energy Ministers have made commitment working towards two major targets by 2025: a 23% share of renewable energy in the total primary energy supply by increasing its share in power capacity to 35%, and a 32% reduction in energy intensity from 2025 levels. The COVID-19 pandemic has not derailed, but rather accelerated the region’s energy transition progress.

In 2020, a huge 280 GW of renewable capacity – primarily wind and solar – was installed globally last year, some 45% higher than the level in 2019, according to IEA. In the “Exceptional New Normal”, IEA raises growth for wind and solar by another 25% from its forecast. Driven by climate commitment, competitive auctions, falling cost and matured technologies, solar has the potential to break the record growth in 2021 and 2022.

According to Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables, over 2.4 GW of PV panels were installed on water, across 35 countries worldwide at the ed of 2019.Floating solar farms are making waves in the region. Recently in July, Singapore unveiled one of the world’s largest floating solar (FPV) farms – 60MWp farm enough to power the island’s five water treatment plants. Singapore’s local SME Sunseap Group to build world’s largest solar farm with a capacity of 2.2 GWp and spanning around 1600 hectares on a reservoir in Indonesia’s Batam Island. Other countries, such as Thailand and Indonesia, have made significant plans to boost FPV capacities too.

Session 1 Policy, Strategy, Role of the Public SectorPresentations on the demand-side energy efficiency scenario in Asia and the Pacific against the SDG7 include status, issues, trends, and prospects. Focus is given on polices, strategies, and the roles of the public sector in encouraging the uptake of energy efficiency measures. Discussions will cover building a business case for energy efficiency in public buildings, developing policies and regulations that would create a conducive environment for private sector to come in, existing policy and regulatory trends that have been proven effective, and best practices that may be adopted by developing countries and other stakeholders for promoting demand-side energy efficiency solutions.

The moderator introduces the session and its speakers and highlights the session’s objectives.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY: BUILDING A LOW-CARBON ASIA AND THE PACIFIC

27 OCTOBER 2021Demand-side energy efficiency can be as valuable as controlling energy from its supply end. These could consist of both technological and behavioural change leading to savings in energy consumption without reducing consumer needs and level of comfort. In this, the government’s role is crucial for setting up the appropriate policies, programs, and incentive mechanisms to create a conducive environment that will encourage utilities, consumers, and other market players to increase their demand-side energy efficiency efforts. Measures such as managing the demand curve by utilities, like load shifting to level-off peak demand, and many new innovative technologies, solutions, and business models for energy efficiency in buildings, residences, among others are already available. These may be adopted by both the public and private sectors given the right investment conditions.

This track will discuss the challenges of energy efficiency and how to create an enabling framework for promoting efficiency gains on the demand-side to save costs, reduce air pollution and curtail carbon footprint, by way of advanced clean technologies and solutions and the use of innovative business models and financing instruments. Jointly organised by Asian Development Bank (ADB), Sustainable Energy Association of Singapore (SEAS), Sustainable Energy for All (SEforALL), and The Energy Conservation Center, Japan (ECCJ).


15:30 - 16:25

Session 3 Financing and Business ModelsCollaboration among government, non-government organizations, financial intermediaries, private sector, and communities could make the provision of end-use energy efficiency more effective. Discussions will include how demand-side energy efficiency solutions could be financed, replicated, and scaled up, and how they will be set-up, operated, and maintained. Challenges, opportunities, and ways to increase financial commitments will also be highlighted.

The moderator introduces the session and its speakers and highlights the session’s objectives.
