Webinar 2: Carbon Pricing Designs for the Power Sector in Selected Countries 16th of December, 15.00 pm BKK time, 9.00 am CET (Registration link)
The Collaborative Instruments for Ambitious Climate Action (CI-ACA) supports ASEAN member states (AMS) in the development of carbon pricing approaches for implementing their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and foster cooperation. Support is provided to jurisdictions (or groups of jurisdictions), for developing carbon pricing instruments suited to the domestic context.
Based on an outreach to AMS, several countries have asked for capacity-building support related to the development and implementation of carbon pricing in specific sectors. In a response to this, CI-ACA in collaboration with the ASEAN Working Group on Climate Change (AWGCC) organizes two initial webinars in a series of sector-specific events aiming at enhancing the knowledge of sector specific challenges and opportunities for introducing carbon pricing instruments.
The two integrated webinars cover carbon pricing in the power sector: Most carbon pricing schemes globally have focused on the power sector since the sector often leads both in overall emissions as well as mitigation potential. In practice, however, using carbon pricing to cut power related emissions is not always straightforward since power markets typically are centrally regulated. Structures differ from country to country, ranging from fully liberalized markets to strongly regulated: the inclusion of the power sector in carbon pricing instruments requires adaptation to national circumstances and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
These two webinars aim at providing policymakers and regulators in ASEAN member countries with knowledge and experience relating to the design of carbon pricing instruments, in particular emissions trading schemes, for the power sector. The webinars will be limited to participation for selected policymakers and regulators by invitation through the AWGCC focal points. The first webinar will contain presentations by renowned international experts related to the challenges of designing CPIs for the power sector and an example from how this is managed in a mature emissions trading scheme. The second webinar will contain and introductory presentation on CPIs in the overall policy context and presentations from recent and emerging CPIs in the region.
