Annual status report no. 14 (FY2006)
Schneider, Pia
This report focuses on Asia Sustainable and Alternative Energy Program (ASTAE) work during the specific period of FY06, and hence provides only a snapshot of ASTAE's overall contribution in recent years. Even so, the diversity and breadth of ASTAE's work is striking. During FY06, ASTAE was not only able to maintain and consolidate strategically important work in China and Vietnam, but it also increased activities in a broader range of countries, including Cambodia, Fiji, Indonesia, Laos, Mongolia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Timor-Leste. Citing only some examples from FY06, work on rural electrification and energy efficiency strategies in Indonesia sought to lay a foundation for possible future operational programs. The year 2006 also signified the completion of the first business plan period for the new structure of ASTAE. The strategic recommendations from the 2002 management review have worked well. In measurable results, the ASTAE business plan 2004-06 provided targets for new renewable energy generation capacity and avoided energy generation capacity through energy savings, which, once implemented, would result in a reduction of Carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions of 156 million tons during a 20-year period. The important role played by ASTAE in delivering these results would not have been possible without the generous support received from ASTAE supporters.
