INTRODUCTION

I started this program in the end of 2012 with the ultimate goal to assist the regulator to increase the number of REEMs in the current market which is still insufficient to ensure compliance towards the Efficient Management of Electrical Energy Regulations 2008. It was announced by the regulator recently that as at December 2012, only 207 REEMs registered with them and there are about 1,500 installations have to comply to the regulations. 

Together with MAESCO, we had two sessions in September and October 2012. Now  I intend  to expand this program to be conducted at more platforms to enable it to reach more people who may be benefit from it.

Actually,I believe there are many people out there with experiences and qualified to apply but still unsure on how much they have met the requirements and how exactly to put all that in writing in the application form. Some even have the idea of  it would be easy to get registered, the interview and examination would be very tough to pass and many other perceptions that make them not applying.

It the workshop, me myself with assistance from 1-2 more REEM will share our experiences from the beginning of the application process until the interview session  by the panelist.I will also will share my direct experiences in evaluating the applications and as one of the panelists for the interview session. The whole idea of the outline program as indicated below is to guide the candidates in the application process and to build their confidence to submit if they have met the minimum requirements according to the regulations. 


TARGET GROUPS:
  • Companies affected by the enforcement of Efficient Management of Electrical Energy Regulations 2008 - for those interested to get their internal personnel to get registered
  • Training providers who are interested to  add new program into their training calenders
  • Individuals and consultants who are interested to offer REEM services to existing and new clients

LEARNING OUTCOMES
