WEC Inside
15–30 April 2014
Welcome to WEC Inside, your exclusive
briefing from your WEC network
News
The WEC is working with the UN to organise the
first annual Sustainable Energy for All Forum, to
be held at the UN headquarters in New York from
4 to 6 June. This collaboration is the latest of the
WEC’s continual support for the UN SE4ALL
initiative – see box below.
The upcoming event will coincide with two
years since the Rio+20 meeting, where world
leaders stated that “we are all determined to act to
make sustainable energy for all a reality and,
through this, help to eradicate poverty and lead to
sustainable development and global prosperity.”
A key objective of the event is to “shape and
set the direction for the global policy discourse on
WEC teams with UN for first SE4ALL Forum
energy for the next crucial decades to come”. On 5
June the UN will declare 2014–2024 ‘The decade of
Sustainable Energy for All’.
The SE4ALL Forum will be hosted by UN
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and World Bank
President Jim Yong Kim. They will be joined by
heads of state, ministers of foreign affairs, energy
and other relevant organisations, heads of UN
system organisations, CEOs of private sector
partners, and civil society leaders. The WEC has a
key place at this event, with the WEC’s leadership
being invited to participate at the highest levels.
Decisions taken at the meeting could impact the
energy sector for years to come.

What is the idea behind the event?
The North America Region Energy Forum is a unique
opportunity to bring energy leaders from the United
States, Mexico and Canada together in an event
focused on energy issues of interest to the three coun-
tries. The Energy Council of Canada is proud to be the
Forum host in 2014.
The three countries share many energy issues in
common closely related to fulfilling the WEC trilemma
goals of energy security, energy equity, and environ-
mental sustainability. Attendees will hear updates
through expert presentations and learn about the
latest developments in the three countries. Discussion
will include how each country is making progress on
the issues and what lies ahead.
This event happens at a particularly opportune
time in Canada. The energy sector is an important
driver in Canadian economy and this event will exam-
ine current topics directly relevant to the Canadian
context. We invite our members and international
colleagues to the 2014 Canadian Energy Summit
being held immediately preceding the Forum, on June
24 (evening reception) and June 25.
Interview
What will be the event highlights?
The North America Region Energy Forum is being
organized jointly with Barry Worthington, from the
United States Energy Association, and Pablo Mulás
del Pozo with the WEC-Mexico executive committee.
The Forum will open on June 25 with an evening
reception and dinner featuring prominent leaders from
the three countries in an ‘energy conversation’. On
June 26, Marie-José Nadeau, Chair of the World
Energy Council, will provide the opening address. In
the first session, the transformations which have taken
place in the North American energy sector, past,
present and future, will be profiled. The following
session will address the latest developments in elec-
tricity markets. In the afternoon, two parallel sessions,
one on oil and gas and one on electricity, will provide
an opportunity for closer dialogue on the latest devel-
opments in these sectors and on the planned reforms
underway in Mexico. The final session of the Forum
will explore questions around how social licence is
earned, maintained, and restored from the perspective
of companies, communities and governments.
Why should WEC members outside the
North America region attend?
Each of the Forum topics will be of interest to many of
the WEC members in North America and also to the
global WEC membership. Many of the issues identified
by energy leaders in the 2014 World Energy Issues
Monitor will be addressed during the Forum.
The Forum will offer excellent networking opportuni-
ties at the dinner and reception on June 25, throughout
the Forum, and at the closing reception on the 26th.
What is the vision for the Energy Council
of Canada’s role as part of the WEC?
I am pleased to play a leadership role in achieving the
Energy Council of Canada’s vision – to forge a better
understanding of energy issues in order to optimally
shape the energy sector for the benefit of all Canadi-
ans. Building on this vision, our theme for 2014 is
‘working together on energy’. We are looking forward to
welcoming our Canadian members and energy col-
leagues and also all attendees from Mexico, the United
States and across the globe. ■

Graham Campbell tells WEC Inside what’s in store for participants
Ongoing commitment
The WEC has been a firm supporter of the UN
Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative.
Ahead of the Rio+20 gathering, the WEC
presented a letter on behalf of its members and
officers to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to
pledge its formal support to the UN’s
“International Year of Sustainable Energy for All”.
In the same letter the WEC also offered to
collaborate in the development of the UN’s
roadmap to deliver its energy and sustainable
development goals.
Since then the WEC has hosted the formal
consultation for the UN SE4ALL Global Tracking
Framework study and has supported the World
Bank and partner agencies on this report plus
other work streams. The GTF study set out to
establish a baseline against which progress on
the three SE4ALL goals will be measured, and
this was published in May last year. The WEC
has also highlighted and discussed the work of
the SE4All initiative at its two recent Executive
Assembly meetings and at the 2013 World
Energy Congress in Daegu. ■
It is hoped that the expert knowledge provided
by the WEC network will help ensure that the
recommendations made are robust while providing
the best chance for the SE4All goals to be
achieved. To further help guide the process the
Executive Chairs of the WEC’s work streams have
also been invited to join all four of the UN SE4All’s
Board Committees, on energy access, renewable
energy, energy efficiency, and finance.
The energy sector has a significant role in
helping to deliver sustainable development goals.
WEC Secretary General Christoph Frei: “We need
to move the debate from the people who want, to
the people who can.” ■
■ WEC members are invited to use this high-
profile and influential event to showcase actions
that support SE4All goals and to provide input into
the forum’s agenda and recommendations.
Members interested in taking part should register
on www.se4all.org and inform the London
Secretariat as soon as possible as opportunities
will be limited due to the high level of demand.

Total primary energy supply: Latin American and the Caribbean
The World Energy Council’s Jazz and Symphony
scenarios provide decision-makers with a neutral
fact-based tool that they will be able to use to
measure the potential impact of their choices
in the future.

The WEC’s studies are global but
are relevant for national debates
too. Here are some recent exam-
ples of how our member commit-
tees have showcased our studies.
Colombia COCME hosted a two-day conference
where discussions on the Latin American energy
situation were anchored around the World Ener-
gy Scenarios study. The committee invited Karl
Rose, Senior Director of Scenarios, to present
the study. It also promoted understanding of the
study findings, securing coverage in major re-
gional and international trade press, in both
Spanish and English. Read what the press has
said: ■ AméricaEconomía ■
Business Review America Latina ■ Energy Post
■ Energy Digital
France Conseil Français de l'Energie promoted
the World Energy Issues Monitor by translating
and sending the press release to national media
outlets. CFE’s media successes have included
coverage in Energies Actu, a major national
energy media outlet, plus others.
Switzerland The Swiss MC continued to engage
national media on WEC studies, most recently
with the World Energy Issues Monitor. The com-
mittee distributed press releases in French and
German in advance to media, resulting in cover-
age in a number of national outlets: ■ Tribune de
Genève ■ 24heures ■ le Matin ■ Le Temps
“The news release was also distributed to the
members of the Swiss Energy Council,” said
Jürg Bartlome, Secretary General of the Swiss
Energy Council.
New Zealand To coincide with Christoph Frei’s
visit in early March to New Zealand where he
presented the World Energy Issues Monitor and
discussed the World Energy Trilemma, the Busi-
ness NZ Energy Council coordinated interviews
with major newspapers and broadcast.
Watch and read some of the highlights:
■ New Zealand Herald ■ NewstalkZB ■ Radio
New Zealand News ■ TV NZ One News
■ Energy News
John Carnegie, the MC secretary who led the
national outreach, said that successful outreach
had several elements, one of which was to offer
a “local product”. He said: “The development of
the NZ issues map made the global energy
issues map seem more real and relevant.”
“Policymakers and the public are looking for
messages that resonate and make sense and
help them explain ‘why do we find ourselves in
this situation?’,” he added. “We have this in the
energy issues and trilemma.”
