The Lima-Callao area has a population of 9 million andan economy worth US$66 billion in 2014. The preliminary results of our research indicate that the total energy bill for the city was US$4.7 billion and that the bill for waste and water was US$50 billion - meaning that 8% of everything earned in the local economy was spent on energy, water and waste.

‘Enabling an efficient transition to low carbon energy systems’
Chair: Jon Price, Centre for Low Carbon Futures
Panel: Jane Burston, National Physical Laboratory; Antony Froggatt, Chatham House; David Wilk, Inter-American Development Bank; others tbc
The transition to low carbon energy systems, especially with increasing deployment of renewables, will introduce new challenges for balancing supply and demand. From increasing access to electricity in off-grid communities, and developing local smart grids, to more efficient transmission networks, new technologies can be a key enabler. The panel will provide insights on the challenges and how to overcome them, considering technology, policy, and socio-economic factors. Discussion will address specific opportunities from, and barriers to, deployment of energy storage technologies globally.
