The International Energy Agency (IEA<\/strong><\/span><\/a>) 2023 has gathered the global community of policymakers and energy-related stakeholders from more than 20 countries to take part in a training week titled \u201cEnergy Efficiency Policy in Emerging Economies\u201d on 17-21 April 2023 at the IEA\u2019s Paris headquarters, France.<\/span><\/p>\n

Together with ICLEI Indonesia, West Nusa Tenggara (WNT) officials were invited to participate in a series of lectures, interactive discussions, and practical exercises to capacitate its local governments in realizing the 100% renewable energy project goals in the province.<\/span><\/p>\n

The course served as an avenue to allow participants and policymakers in emerging economies to learn from international best practices and share their own ideas and solutions <\/span>in order to implement effective energy efficiency initiatives<\/span> in their respective countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joining the training session, Niken Arumdati, <\/span>Secretary of the WNT Department of Energy and Mineral Resources\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,<\/span> shared the program helped local authorities in gaining valuable information on the energy efficiency policy package, building relevant technologies, policy investments, and many more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

She said \u201cEnergy efficiency is considered as the first fuel. It is abundant and inexpensive yet the most effective and quickest measure to slow the growth of energy demand, lower the energy bills, and to enhance resiliency.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Noting the need for robust implementation of energy efficiency in WNT, Arumdati underlined that the energy sector is the second main contributor of GHG emissions in the province.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn order to achieve our net zero emissions\u2019 target in 2050, we need to decarbonize the energy sector. Decarbonization of this sector in WNT includes renewable energy utilization for the electricity and transportation sectors, as well as energy efficiency.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The event also highlighted that the <\/span>greatest efficiency gains are achieved by a package of policies that effectively combine regulation, information, and incentives. Integration of these elements will maximize the impact and success of energy efficiency initiatives.<\/span><\/p>\n

In one of the sessions, ICLEI also <\/span>teamed up with IEA for a special edition of the Serious Game SETS<\/strong><\/span><\/a> at the IEA EETW 2023, focused on energy efficiency and digitalization.<\/span> The Sustainable Energy Transition Strategy game (SETS) aims to bring together local government officials, and other diverse stakeholders to address the various challenges involved in the energy transition.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
