  • Thematic Track Sessions: These tracks form the core of the main Forum. In 2019, ACEF will consist of five integrated thematic tracks, each closely linked to the key operational priorities of ADB's 2030 Strategy:
    • Energy and Livable Cities
    • Energy and Water Sustainability
    • Energy and Rural Poverty Alleviation
    • Energy and Innovative Finance
    • Clean Energy Trends and Directions
  • Deep Dive Workshops (DDWs): In contrast to the Thematic Tracks, the DDWs are highly focused sessions that help you gain in-depth knowledge on specific topics of interest. From grid integration to energy storage to gender diversity, DDWs have something to offer to everyone! ACEF 2018 had a total of 16 DDWs in 2018.
  • Knowledge Dim Sum: Sharing knowledge couldn’t get any tastier! Meet clean energy entrepreneurs who are breaking into the Asia market with their innovative clean energy technologies and initiatives!

ACEF provides a great platform to be heard and noticed – not just by your peers but also by investors – and make a real impact on the ground. Read a recent success story about ACEF-inspired investments into high-efficiency transmission technology below.

ADB and three technology vendors—3M,CTC Global, and Sumitomo/J-Power—organized a DDW on energy-efficient high-temperature low-sag (HTLS) conductors at ACEF 2015. The DDW included multiple case studies from transmission installations in ADB Developing Member Countries and helped increase awareness on HTLS advantages amongst ACEF participants, and recommend HTLS conductors as an industry standard.

HTLS conductors provide higher capacity and efficiency and can reduce line losses by 25 to 40 percent while doubling transmission capacity. The vendors and DMC transmission companies shared the benefits of HTLS solutions with ACEF participants at the DDW and the discussions and connections carried forward after ACEF 2015. This ultimately led to new sales opportunities for ADB funded transmission projects in Bangladesh (where CTC Global's ACCC is now the default choice for new lines), Nepal, and Pakistan. The market for upgrading existing high-voltage lines via conductor replacement presents an excellent opportunity for ADB to expand its energy efficiency financing portfolio.
