|
At its annual meeting held in Reykjavik, Iceland, the Executive Assembly of the World Energy Council (WEC) unanimously appointed Brian A. Statham, Chairman of the South African National Energy Association (SANEA), as Chair-Elect of the WEC Studies Committee and a Member of the Officers’ Council. This announcement was made by Alison von Ketelhodt, Secretary-General of SANEA: “The handover from the current Chair of Studies will take one year and Brian will assume office in September 2010,” she explained. “The WEC studies play an integral role in shaping thinking in the global energy community, and the Chair of this Committee is a very important and influential position. The Executive Assembly further agreed that the WEC Global Scenarios Study (that Brian led from 2004 to 2007 – Energy Policy Scenarios to 2050) should be defined as one of only two ‘Flagship’ studies to be carried forward as the foundation for the future work of the WEC,” she announced. Brian has some 33 years of experience in the power industry in South Africa. Working for Eskom for most of his career, he has been involved in construction, operations, research, production planning, investment planning and strategic planning, predominantly in the area of power generation.
