This collaborative fosters the development of microenterprise activity using renewable energy
technologies in rural and remote regions of APEC
economies. The collaborative uses technical and
business expertise within specific APEC
economies to identify viable micro-enterprise
activities that create income-generation
opportunities that raise the standard of living of
rural populations, and is self-replicated in other
communities.

Collaborative III: Renewable-Energy Training
and Certification Network: Australia
The collaborative project involves the identification of
currently available renewable energy training and
certification systems within member economies; an
assessment of the needs of member economies for
qualified staff to plan, design, install, operate and maintain
renewable energy systems; an assessment of the gap
between currently available training and current needs and
an assessment of how training resources may be allocated
to better meet the needs of member countries.

energy systems for (a) off-grid applications,
including mini-grids and stand-alone systems, and
(b) grid-interactive applications, (2) categorize
according to types of standards (e.g. components,
systems, interconnections, safety), and (3) prepare
harmonized/synthesized proposed standards for
APEC economies.

New EWG Initiatives and Directions
• A comprehensive plan to enhance the APEC Energy Security Initiative
for energy security, sustainable development and common prosperity
• This plan will be endorsed by the APEC Leaders this month
– Renewable Energy – Support the development and deployment of
more economically viable new and renewable energy technologies
by encouraging information exchange, technology transfer,
capacity building, market development and other cooperation
under the 21st Century Renewable Energy Development Initiative,
working closely with the EWG Business Network and APEC
business and research communities.
