On 28 January, the Energy Committee, the Energy Sector Group Secretariat, and several staff members from various energy divisions held a Strategy Session to set the objectives, targets, and tasks for the coming year. Colleagues from other sectors and thematic groups also attended. A central element in this year’s program is the implementation of the 2021 Energy Policy. The sector is expected to issue guidance notes on its alignment to the Paris Agreement, as well as operational guidance for gas, hydropower, and waste-to-energy projects. Alongside the preparation of these notes, is the preparation of the Energy Sector Framework that will carry the Results Framework under the new Energy Policy. Corollary to animating the new Policy is the implementation of the Energy Transition Mechanism, initiated by the Southeast Asia Department in 2021 which requires a whole-of-organization approach now that it is about to lift off the ground. Knowledge management for the coming year will be focused and driven by the needs of operations. Projects will have more cross-sectoral interfaces as the energy sector seeks to break into new business lines in demand-side energy efficiency, circular economy, carbon capture utilization, and storage. Technologies such as green hydrogen, battery energy storage, and new renewables like offshore wind, wave energy, and ocean thermal energy conversion are topics of interest. The work seems to cut out for the sector, but the OneADB approach will see the sector through.
