1 Studies Committee Meeting Manila, 16 June 2015

2 World Energy Trilemma Diletta Giuliani Manila, 16 June 2015

3 Launch of 2015 Trilemma report The energy sector is ready for an ambitious climate agreement and calls for an international framework with a clear measurable target for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that enables fair competition and sets a clear pathway towards low-carbon energy systems. Presentation at Clean Energy Ministerial (27 May) Presentation at Canadian Energy Summit (27 May) Distribution of report among all UNFCCC / INDC national focal points

4 2015 Energy Trilemma Index Uses same methodology as in previous years Now covers 130 countries, Iraq included for first time (rank 89) Member Committees are invited to review and comment on country profiles Member Committees are invited to contribute to the assessment whether country should be on watch list Launch of the Index planned for September / October Rank Country (2014 rank) Balance 1 Switzerland (1) AAA 2 Sweden (2) AAA 3 Norway (3) AAB 4 United Kingdom (4) AAA 5 Austria (7) AAB 6 Denmark (5) AAB 7 Canada (6) AAC 8 France (9) AAB 9 Finland (8) AAB 10 New Zealand (10) ABB

5 Plans for 2016 Trilemma report New models to compensate energy companies for the services they provide are required as current market designs do not yet reflect changes in energy supply and energy technology. Suggested 2016 topic: market designs for sustainable energy Electricity Gas Carbon Transportation (fuel) Opportunities and challenges of energy only vs. not energy only (e.g. capacity mechanisms, flexibility models, hybrid models) Relevance for OECD and non-oecd countries Developed countries face a pressing issue as incumbent infrastructure ages and emission goals for the energy sector are to be met Developing countries will have a longer timeframe for implementation but still need to think about market design as they develop a roadmap for sustainable development

14 The Study Committee is required to: Approve the postponement of the Africa Scenarios Phase 1 to ensure sufficient resources are available to deliver quality LAC Phase 2 scenarios that could serve as an example of a regional scenario deep dive. It would further assist in making resources available for the global scenarios.9 Next steps Interviews with WEC Officers, Global Patrons and Project Partners to be completed and analysed for global scenarios Global scenarios framing workshop Prototype global scenarios and additional research Global scenario development workshop Scoping agreement between parties on LAC scenarios Phase 2, deepening of Phase 1 work and modelling On-boarding and training of new staff and Accenture members First draft of E-mobility paper 14

20 Financing Resilient Energy Infrastructure Katrina Kelly Manila, 16 June 2015

21 Financing resilient energy infrastructure Risk mitigation is about understanding the inputs and having the ability to accept the uncertainties at a project level and adapt to them Energy infrastructure needs to be continuously adaptable to the current environment Emerging risks need to be better understood: to enable the development of appropriate technical and design responses and to understand the financial implications.

22 How do we define resilient energy infrastructure? Resilience for infrastructure refers to the robustness and recovery characteristics of energy infrastructure and operations, to avoid or minimize interruptions of service in case of a hazardous event. Resilience measures for energy infrastructure are typically classified as hard or soft measures. Hard resilience: Safe-fail ; ensure infrastructure withstands sudden impacts that can affect entire system Soft resilience: Fail-safe ; Ensure infrastructure responds quickly to sudden impacts. Accepts that part of the system may go down 22

23 Work focus until 2016 Congress Cyber threats Energywaterfood nexus Investigating five risk dimensions Extreme weather Technical efficacy Social activism 23

24 Frontloaded chapter: Extreme weather findings Regional differences Adaptation options / strategy Key constraints Underlying policy and regulatory framework Impacts of extreme weather vary from region to region in terms of the type of extreme weather events, frequency of occurrence and impact on energy infrastructure. Extreme weather is any kind of weather which is severe, unusual, and not seasonal, and include, storms (wintry and tropical events), storm surges, flooding, and erosion. Comparing the last 5 years to the last 20 years, the number of extreme weather events has increased by 40%. Natural catastrophe-related losses (Swiss Re): - Asia USD 52bn - North America USD 29bn - Europe USD 16bn - LAC USD 8bn Two different approaches that are often referred to as hard - build strong enough for the system not to go down - and soft resilience - assumption the system will go down but is build flexible enough to operate again quickly. Examples of adaptation options include, strengthening of overhead transmission and distribution infrastructure, underground cabling for utilities or rerouting lines, reduced dependence on single sources of energy, early warning systems, distributed energy systems, local empowerment etc. Limited availability of data and information (climate risk assessments) to support financial modelling. Lack of reliable data and information delays development and implementation of improved design standards. Unlocking adaptation finance depends on the ability to recoup the investments made (tariffs), currently not possible. Access to viable alternatives. Technological innovation. Public acceptance of new technologies is often low. Lack of instruments for transferring weather and climate risks. Current policy and regulation focus on mitigation. They provide incentives and set standards for future. Lack of regulatory guidance on adaptation and how much resilience is enough. Without regulatory guidance increased resilience is not related to an additional revenue stream and hence less attractive for the investor. Financial regulation prevents certain investor groups from entering the market.
