Thailand’s gas conundrum
June 19th, 2014
Natural gas has been dominating Thailand’s power mix for about three decades. While indigenous gas production in forecasted to deplete in the 2020’s decade, Thailand is relying more and more on gas imports, with a particular increase in LNG imports. Although natural gas offers a better carbon footprint than other fossil fuels, its cost has been rising as a consequence of the increasing share of LNG in the gas imports causing electricity prices rise.

Philippines high electricity price is keeping foreign investors
The high
cost and sketchy reliability of electricity supplies in the Philippines are now
the main deterrents to investing in the country, according to foreign business
leaders who see the problem as a persuasive reason to invest elsewhere. In
addition, the power grid network also needs enhancements to avoid regular
rolling blackouts and the government is working on adding more capacity and
acknowledged that it needs to add around 1,000 MW of new generating capacity
every year between now and 2030 if it is to overcome the country energy crisis.
The
Philippines are the only country in South-East Asia that does not subsidize electricity companies and the generating capacity per capita is also relatively
low – roughly 5 times lower than Malaysia and Thailand. The Philippines electricity prices at cost of
18.2 USc/kWh for industrial supply in 2012 are some of the highest in Asia and
then considering GDP per capita of US$2,600, the prices become
prohibitive.

Enerdata releases the report on energy efficiency policies. (world level)
Enerdata has prepared for the
WEC Secretariat a report on energy efficiency policy at world level within a
project chaired by ADEME and available on the WEC web site.
The report evaluates energy efficiency trends and policies at world level. A selection of indicators are analysed and compared in
this report .
The report also describes energy efficiency policies carried out
in a large sample of 85 countries throughout the world, either through a survey
that was carried out in about 50 countries or through literature review for the
remaining countries. This survey was completed with detailed case studies
focused on four policy measures, prepared by selected experts: innovative
financing schemes in building, measures to accelerate the penetration of
efficient air conditioners and their efficient use, smart billing and measures
to improve the efficiency of road transport of freight. Beyond a review of
energy efficiency measures already implemented, this evaluation aimed to
pinpoint the most interesting experiences and draw some conclusions on
advantages and drawbacks of different policies. The study is concluded by 8 main recommendations: energy prices should reflect real costs and give more incentive signals
to consumers; consumers should be better informed; innovative financing tools
should be implemented to support consumers investments ; the quality of energy
efficient equipment and services should be controlled; regulations should be
enforced and regularly strengthened; behaviours should be addressed as
much as technologies, relying on ICTs; monitoring achievements is necessary to
check the real impact of energy efficiency policies; finally,
international and regional cooperation should be enhanced.
Enerdata updates 2 databases for the World Energy Council
Enerdata
has updated for the WEC Secretariat two data bases within a project chaired by
ADEME and available on the WEC web site http://www.worldenergy.org/data/energy-efficiency-policies-and-measures/:
·
A data base on a selection of energy efficiency
indicators up to 2011: the indicators can be compared by country through
interactive maps and graphs and can be downloaded by country .
·
A data base on energy efficiency policies and measures
in a large sample of countries throughout the world. About 85 countries are
covered, either through a survey that was carried out in about 50 countries or
through literature review for the remaining countries. The data base also
include four policy case studies, prepared by selected experts on innovative
financing schemes in building, on measures to accelerate the penetration of
efficient air conditioners, on smart billing and on measures to improve the efficiency
of road transport of freight.
The
indicators and policy measures are analysed and compared in a report to be
released at the WEC congress in October in Daegu.
