– Focus on the issue of affordability of energy services in emerging economies.

– Complement the G20 Access to Energy Action Plans for Sub-Saharan Africa and East Asia.

– Changes to regulations that have impacted the development of Unconventional Renewable Energies

– Regulation of Small Energy Distributed Generation, Net-billing, and self-consumption without grid-injection. Role and rights of the actors involved, remuneration system. 2017-2018 GIZ, Ministry of Energy of Chile, Ministry of Energy and Mining of Argentina Shared learning experiences between both countries on regulatory amendments, regulation, strategy, and changes in the handling of unconventional renewable energies, with a view to establishing and improving public policies in these areas.

– Development and trends.

– Strategy implemented to develop distributed generation for self-consumption (Net-billing, DG without injection): Regulation

– Monitoring Supply-side stimulation –Demand activation -Public solar roofs program.

– Evaluating the energy matrix after introducing unconventional renewable energy resources (RER).

– Promoting distributed generation to encourage self-generated electricity using renewable sources and cogeneration.

– Promoting smart networks.

– Drawing up of the National Energy Plan to evaluate diversification of the matrix and the increase in generation using RER.

• clean technology innovation to mitigate emissions;

• policy and regulatory best practices; and

• the role of the public and private sectors to support clean technology development and uptake. The first meeting of the newly expanded working group would focus on sharing information and knowledge gained from methane and black carbon mitigation projects in Canada and Mexico. Natural Resources Canada is currently collaborating with Mexico on a project to identify high-impact emission reduction opportunities in the oil and gas sector and develop jurisdictional emissions reduction strategies that are both cost-effective and of sufficient impact to quantifiably and verifiably reduce emissions.

• improve emissions monitoring and reporting;

• identify opportunities to cost-effectively improve resource recovery and environmental performance;

• inform regulatory/policy development and research/clean technology development priorities; and

• enable access to capital for implementation of emission reduction projects.
