Clone of Asian Development Bank Quantum Leap in Wind Conference

Overcoming Challenges and Building Momentum in Asia

ADB Headquarters, Manila, 20-21 June 2011

This event is part of the 6th Asia Clean Energy Forum 2011 and will bring together participants from different regions of Asia and the Pacific involved in wind power development to discuss the current status with a close examination of the challenges in ADB’s Member Countries. The first day is dedicated to country presentations on wind power development, identifying current installed capacity, targets, and plans, while highlighting supporting regulations and fiscal incentives already in place. A follow on publication on the country wind profiles will be done in collaboration with GWEC and USAID/SARI Energy to be released later this year. The second day will tackle major hurdles encountered in project development, while identifying areas for improvement, and recommending possible solutions.
