The award program spotlights successful efforts within APEC economies to promote the grassroots use of renewable energy, energy efficiency and/or the reduction of carbon emissions, in ways that are economically viable and improve job creation and growth.
It builds on APEC member collaboration to advance these priorities under the Energy Smart Community Initiative through the development and demonstration of new methodologies, technologies and applications, and by facilitating the adoption of industry best practices.
The award program is administered by the APEC Energy Working Group. Both public and private sector entities are encouraged to apply.
