First public presentation of Wood Mackenzie Lens® Power

SINGAPORE, June 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Wood Mackenzie invites registration for its inaugural Power & Renewables Asia Pacific (APAC) Conference on June 22-24.

As western economies and major corporations pledge carbon neutrality, the Asia Pacific region, the world's largest fossil fuel demand centre, must equally step up efforts to decarbonise.

Wood Mackenzie Asia Pacific Head of Power and Renewables, Alex Whitworth, said: "China, Japan and South Korea have all announced net-zero targets by 2050 and 2060. This virtual conference is an excellent platform to discuss expectations for climate change action in these key markets and set the way forward for industry players."

The virtual conference will feature streams dedicated to key markets including China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and emerging Southeast Asia. The three-day event will also address topics on policies, next-generation technologies, and investment strategies that will help APAC markets navigate the energy transition.

Wood Mackenzie will also unveil Lens® Power - a game-changing data and analytics platform which will empower organisations to maximise investment opportunities in clean energy and be at the forefront of the energy transition.

As well as exclusive presentations from Wood Mackenzie experts, and a top-tier speaker line-up, the virtual conference offers opportunities to connect with leading renewable developers and utilities.
