Overview of APERC Activities
Tom Willcock
Researcher
Asia Pacific Energy Research Centre (APERC)APERCAPERC was established in Tokyo in 1996 after theOsaka APEC leaders meeting in 1995.
Primary objective is to foster a common
understanding of energy challenges
facing APEC member economies.
– Through analysis of the supply anddemand outlook.
– The development of energy markets.
– Discussion of policy responses.

The APEC Energy Demand and Supply Outlook• The ‘APEC Energy Demand andSupply Outlook’ project is apriority task, published every 3-4years.
• Two volumes: APEC as a region
and individual economy reviews.
• The 6th edition was released inMay 2016.
The 7th edition is well underway. Similar in structure to the 6th, but withexpanded modelling and new scenarios. Drafts have been sent for expertreview (some have already been returned). Publication release at EWG 57(April/May 2019).

APEC Peer Review on Energy Efficiency (PREE)

1. Review on Energy Efficiency and follow up• 7 phases, across 11 economies so far: NewZealand, Chile, Viet Nam, Thailand, Chinese
Taipei, Peru, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei
Darussalam, and Mexico.
• Russia in November [TBC].
• Peru in March next year.

2. Energy Efficiency Policy Workshop (EEP)• Most recently held in Washington at EGEE&C 50.

3. Energy Efficiency Policy Compendium• Latest and last publication: October 2017

9Training activities
APERC accepts energy modelling trainees from developingeconomies.
•Seminar in Tokyo from 5-13 November 2018.

Also dispatch experts to develop energy data andmodelling capacities around the region.
•Five workshops in FY 2017/18: Mexico, PNG, Peru andIndonesia (twice). Chinese Taipei in August.

A cooperation course on ‘Energy Issues in the Asia-PacificRegion’ at Waseda University (Tokyo) started April 2016.
