Meetings I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The ExCo held two Meetings in 2004 to discuss and review ongoing tasks and plan future activities. The 11th ExCo Meeting was held on 18-19 March 2004, in Paris, France, and was hosted by the International Energy Agency (IEA) Headquarters. There were 22 attendees, including eight ExCo members and three Alternate Members, three ExCo Observers (Annex members), two NEDO representatives and five IEA staff members, plus the GIA Secretary. The ExCo approved unanimously the election of David Nieva as Chairman and Allan Jelacic and Ladislaus Rybach as Vice-Chairmen. Reports were presented on the progress made in each of the Annexes and on the national geothermal situation in the participating countries. The “overlap” of work in Annexes III and IV was considered. The ExCo discussed the IEA’s request for modification of the GIA and the IEA Deputy Chief Legal Council described these changes and their consequences to the meeting. Participation by the GIA in the World Geothermal Congress 2005 was debated. There was further discussion on proposed Annex V- Sustainable Geothermal Energy Production and Annex IX- Market Acceleration, and it was noted that the IEA might initiate a programme that could supplant the latter. The issue of “growing” the GIA through new membership was examined. The Secretary provided a report on the operation of the Secretariat for 2003 and for the beginning of 2004, presented a work plan for 2004, and gave an update on the Common Fund. Issues related to the Common Fund (i.e. payment times, amounts, etc.) were discussed. The ExCo unanimously decided that the GIA Secretariat should be kept in New Zealand until the end of the second term (March 2007). The IEA Secretariat presented a report describing how they could assist the GIA and invited GIA’s participation in the Bonn, Germany Renewable Energy Conference and requested a contribution from the GIA for its new IA Highlights book (to be published in 2005). The 12th ExCo Meeting was organized and hosted by ENEL, Pisa, Italy, on 14-15 October 2004. There were 19 attendees, including eight ExCo Members and four Alternates, three ExCo observers (Annex members), one NEDO member, two IEA staff members, and the GIA Secretary. The idea of cost-sharing for certain projects was discussed, however, it was decided that the primary funding mode for the Annexes would remain task-sharing, though the GIA will continue to search for other funding opportunities. The revised IEA GIA framework was discussed and it was reported that the EC would probably accept it soon, paving the way for the GIA to adopt it. Participation in the World Geothermal Congress (WGC) 2005 was discussed and it was decided to hire a booth to promote the GIA via posters, PowerPoint presentations and distribution of documents. The Secretary reported that the IEA Geothermal Annual Report 2003 was completed and submitted to the IEA, a paper describing the GIA was written for the WGC2005, GIA material was provided for the IEA Geothermal Side Event (Bonn Renewable Energy Conference, 1-4 June 2004), a GIA highlights document was submitted for the IEA 2003-2004 Highlights booklet and the new GIA website was operational. The Secretary’s work plans for the remainder of 2004 and for 2005 were presented and accepted by the ExCo. Annex work and Country Reports were presented and reviewed. Again, the issue of “overlap” between Annexes III and IV was discussed, concluding that Annex IV should remain unchanged for the time being. Discussion of Annex V- Sustainability resulted in the decision that the GIA would produce a policy statement and position paper on the topic in 2005. Two new subtasks were also initiated, one in Annex I, and the other in Annex III. Issues relating to increasing GIA membership were discussed and due to South Korea’s interest in joining, an “official” invitation will be sent to them. Again, it was clear that cost matters (i.e. the ExCo Common Fund) remained a stumbling block to the GIA’s membership growth. Greece’s withdrawal due to their Contracting Party’s inability to meet their Common Fund contribution obligation was accepted. The IEA Secretariat presented a report mentioning the success of the Geothermal Side Event in Bonn and inviting the GIA to participate in an IEA RD&D IEA Geothermal R&T Annual Report 2004.doc 9PDF Image | Geothermal Energy Annual Report 2004
