EWG 2009 Project Synopsis

INCORPORATING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES
INTO EWG PROJECTS
Process for incorporating sustainable development principles:
1. Project Overseer complete self-assessment rating for each project proposal
2. For APEC-funded projects, Project Overseer incorporates the principles into the project tender, tender
assessment, and project implementation phases
3. On completion of a project, the Project Overseer describes how the principles were addressed and
their impact at the project evaluation phase (through a separate report).

By helping to improve the availability of information
on generating efficiencies of individual coal-fired
power plants, and promoting effective reporting
requirements for generating efficiencies of new and
existing plants, this project will strengthen regional
energy security by preserving the coal option while
addressing the climate change issue.
The project will develop information that provides
incentives for improving the efficiency of new and
existing power generation infrastructure.
This project will promote the uptake of cleaner and
more efficient coal power generation technologies, as
well as improvement of the efficient use of energy in
existing power plants.
This project will help member economies build
capacity in power plant operational performance, and
provide opportunities for technical cooperation on
best practices in this area.
The project will strengthen public-private sector
dialog and encourage technologies and methods for
more efficient power generation, with private sector
involvement in APEC economies.
