Jon Ippel
By 2015, a total of one million Electric Vehicles (EVs) will be available in the United States. This paradigm shift will require new infrastructure
and permitting standards, as well as the foundation
of new working relationships between utilities, cars, charging companies, and municipalities. Building codes, zoning codes and architectural standards must adapt to provide charging access
at home, work and around the city. The session provides an overview of EVs, charging technologies, and emerging issues such as fitting EVs into the city. The session will cover current information on codes, policies, smart grid integration, cost/benefits, and charging station best practices.

Urban Transport is at crossroads. Users do not get the level and quality of service that they pay for by direct or indirect means in a fair and equitable way. One road leads to MobilityXS.
This is based on a pathbreaking review of our usage and attitude, environmental constraints and a comprehensive study of enabling technologies. It metamorphoses the public-private transport categories. In turn, users have a wider choice of the travel experience that they co-create and customize to personal preferences. They avail of vastly superior travel experience at a given price point in this model than at present. In a wholesome approach to our needs of a livable society, users can choose to walk or cycle comfortable distances in a friendly environment that is sequestrated of motorized traffic. Fast moving motor vehicles run uninterrupted of slow moving traffic and move much faster than at present with a combination of innovative traffic control measures and in-vehicle navigation sensors in the new system.

Regulatory incentives for reduction of network lossesLeonardo ENERGY
Environmental concerns remain a driving force for European energy policy, as exemplified by last years’ directive on energy efficiency. The directive sets the legislative framework to achieve energy efficiency targets. Since electricity network losses comprise a significant component of electricity demand, regulatory incentives to facilitate loss reduction in electricity networks should be in place. This webinar evaluates the incentives for investments in low-loss equipment in differing regulatory settings and outlines pathways to assure the proper embedding of these incentives.

Comprehensive Approach for Energy Infrastructure Security, OCEEA-ATU Meeting, Vienna, 17 July 2008 Page 5
6. Security Sector Reform
Challenges
There is a need to adapt the SSR paradigm with regard to the
Rationale for limited defense and security spending
Separation of security and defense forces
Scope of existing capacity-building programs
Suggestions
Build awareness for the need to invest in security and defense
capabilities to advance energy infrastructure security (OSCE, NATO, EU,
AU, GCC)
Transparency-building on dual-use spending and capabilities for EIS
and other security/defense tasks (OSCE, NATO, EU, AU, GCC)
Focus SSR more strongly on dual-use capabilities and interagency
interaction (OSCE, NATO, EU, UN, NGOs)
Take account of specific demands of hydrocarbon sector when setting
up judicial/administrative reforms (OSCE, EU, CoE, UN, EITI, NGOs)
Comprehensive Approach for Energy Infrastructure Security, OCEEA-ATU Meeting, Vienna, 17 July 2008 Page 6
7. Community Relationship Management
Challenges
If people benefit from infrastructure projects they
will take care of them
Understand local ownership as the “first line of defense”
Suggestions
Workshop on the role of community-building and EI promotion in
national/international development policies (OSCE, UN, EU, IFI)
Workshop on how to create off-springs from (energy) infrastructure
projects for local communities (OSCE, EU, IFI, UN, Companies, NGOs)
Workshop on risks and opportunities of infrastructure collocation (OSCE,
EU, IFI, UN, Companies, NGOs)
Advance the idea of integrated community-based security based on
shared responsibilities between local communities, energy companies,
private security forces, government agencies and security/defense forces
(OSCE, EU, NATO, NGOs, AU, GCC, Companies)
Comprehensive Approach for Energy Infrastructure Security, OCEEA-ATU Meeting, Vienna, 17 July 2008 Page 7
8. Role of Private Security Contractors
Challenges
PSC are a matter of fact in the energy sector
“Image problems” obstruct a sober analysis of their role
Suggestions
Awareness-building workshop on the role of PSC in the energy sector
(OSCE, NATO, EU, PSC, Companies, NGO)
Sharing best practice with regard to setting-up security agreements
(OSCE, NATO, EU, PSC, Companies, NGO)
Integrate private security training for local security forces into international
SSR programs (OSCE, NATO, EU, PSC, Companies, NGO)
Create level-playing field between local security forces and private security
contractors (OSCE, NATO, EU, PSC, Companies, NGO)
Comprehensive Approach for Energy Infrastructure Security, OCEEA-ATU Meeting, Vienna, 17 July 2008 Page 8
9. Conclusions
1. Worldwide dependence on energy infrastructures is growing, thus making
the safety and security a key policy challenge
OSCE countries are among the key actors affected by this trend
2. In today’s international environment there is a serious need for
transparency and confidence-building with regard to energy
infrastructure security
This plays into the hands of the OSCE
3. A successful comprehensive approach to energy infrastructure security
very much depends on coordination between national and international
levels and public and private actors
Could the OSCE serve as a coordination platform?
4. The logic of global energy supply chains should lead to more joint regional
security initiatives along key infrastructure corridors
Could the OSCE serve as a facilitator in Central Asia, the
Caucasus, the Black Sea region, and in the Mediterranean region?
