WEC Inside July 2014 Welcome to WEC Inside, your exclusive briefing from your WEC network News LatAm experts wanted for WEC Scenarios workshop The WEC’s World Energy Scenarios team will be hosting a workshop in the Latin America and Carib- bean region this month. Energy strategists and other decision-makers from the region are encour- aged to attend. The regional Scenarios workshop, hosted by CACME, the WEC Argentinian committee, will be held in Buenos Aires on 28 July. At the workshop regional experts will inject their on-the-ground expertise of regional energy issues – with discus- sion hinged around the findings of the latest World Energy Issues Monitor – and interrogate the plausi- bility of broad scenarios storylines. On the follow- ing two days, members of the WEC Scenarios study group will hold in-depth discussions to ex- plore the scenarios storylines based on the region- al workshop discussion. Gerald Davis, Executive Chair, and Karl Rose, Senior Director of the study, will lead discussions at both the workshop and study group meeting. This workshop presents an opportunity to test and explore how the global insights, as presented in the 2013 Scenarios report, manifest in the re- gion. The 2013 report finds that for the LAC re- gion, even in the best case the growth of energy supply will still be insufficient to meet the rising energy demand associated with economic growth. The study sees total primary energy supply to grow by between 2.3 and 3.8 times, while meeting ener- gy demand in electricity alone will require at least US$1.33 trillion of investment.

The regional Scenarios workshop, hosted by CACME, the WEC Argentinian committee, will be held in Buenos Aires on 28 July.

This workshop presents an opportunity to test and explore how the global insights, as presented in the 2013 Scenarios report, manifest in the re-gion. The 2013 report finds that for the LAC re-gion, even in the best case the growth of energy supply will still be insufficient to meet the rising energy demand associated with economic growth.
