APEC Distribution Transformers Survey S EWG 15 12A – Progress Update Pierre Cazelles Director – Partnerships Asia International Copper Association

Project Identity Title APEC Distribution Transformers Survey: Estimate of Energy Savings Potential from Mandatory Efficiency Standards APEC Ref. APEC Distribution Transformers Survey S EWG 15 12A Sponsor China Co-Sponsors Australia, New-Zealand, USA APEC funding 101,500 USD Self-funding 130,700 USD, including cash contribution of 61,000 USD from ICA (should go up to 140,000 USD) Project Overseer CNIS (China National Institute for Standardization)

Project Design Objective Increase awareness among APEC economies about the energy savings and GHG emission reduction potential from an increased share of higher efficiency DTs, as well as to provide APEC economies with recommendations on how to increase the market share of higher efficiency DTs. Activities 1) Data collection and survey (outsourced consultants) Jan-Apr 2) Data analysis, quantitative evaluation of energy saving and emission reduction potentials, and identification of best practices Apr-Jul 3) Recommendations – feedback from EGEEC Jul-Aug 4) Develop strategic framework for the development of national roadmaps for the increase of MEPS Aug-Oct 5) Dissemination workshop (EGEEC 2013) Nov 6) Final report Dec

Research Structure CNIS: Project LBNL (Overseer; coordinator for activities in China ICA: partner, coordination of international work outside of China ICA is engaging LBNL (Self-funded) to conduct the following: Modeling and analysis Preparation of reports per economy 1 consulting company to be hired for data collection and analysis for CHINA 1 consulting company to be hired to collect data and conduct stakeholders survey for economies other than China ICA will coordinate the work of all consultants to ensure coherence, consistency ICA will make liaison between consultants and LBNL

Project Status Project started Work plan fine-tuned RFP for hiring of 2 consultants published on APEC we site Consultants expected to start work mid-Dec LBNL being hired by ICA

Cooperation from EGEEC Cooperation from EGEEC members is expected to provide data, information, documents, and contacts within economy’s industry to the consultants for the survey: To be surveyed: manufacturers of distribution transformers; users of distribution transformers (utilities, energy-intensive industries) through industry associations The objective of this web-based survey is to identify enablers and barriers to the introduction or raising of mandatory minimum energy performance standards in the respective economy: the survey will be designed by the consultant To facilitate communications, each EGEEC representative should nominate a contact person for this project.
