International Standby Power Conference
 
Location and date(s) of workshop:
New Delhi, India: 2 April 2008
   
Organiser(s): Indian Bureau of Energy Efficiency / IEA
   
Contact(s):
mark.ellis@iea.org
   

Background:

Regular international conferences on Standby Power have helped to keep the issue at the forefront of national energy efficiency strategies and stimulate co-ordination amongst countries.

As a result, follow-up processes to the G8, APP, APEC and CSD Marrakech accord have all called on Governments to make a greater commitment to the IEA 1-Watt standby target and other programs to tackle standby power.

Since the last conference in Canberra in 2006, several major initiatives and policies have been launched - and new studies of standby power reveal whether progress is being made. The 2008 Conference, featuring a selection of speakers from around the world and from India, provides an opportunity to share information about:

- Asia-Pacific Partnership Projects underway to tackle standby power;
- National and International trends in standby power consumption;
- Proposals for policies to address Standby Power in India;
- Recent national policy developments and future proposals;
- Developments in the standby power test procedure, IEC 62301.

Participation is free but please book early, as there are a limited number of places available at the workshop. The procedure on how to register will be forthcoming shortly.
