Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is a pleasure for me to address this opening session of the Nuclear Power Forum Philippines. The Philippines is a very active member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, working closely with us across a broad range of activities. It also plays an important role at the global level, for example by chairing the Review Conference of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons earlier this year.

The total cost required for an 815km AC transmission line is 1201 $M, with a cost of 1.47 $M/km, which is 1.35 times of HVDC line cost.

For a 815km transmission line, HVAC infrastructure costs about $1798 million and HVDC costs about $1445 million.

Because HVDC brings savings of up to $353 million per project versus its HVAC counterpart, increasingly, governments in Asia are evaluating the use of HVDC to connect areas with no available transmission line to the main national grid.

However, it is difficult to determine the exact cost of an HVDC system because each project has different features and circumstances. The use of international benchmarks will help guide your team understand all the important considerations and ensure that you implement correctly.

The speech that Akio Toyoda, president and director of Toyota, delivered on May 18, 2020 to Babson College's 636 newest master's degree holders, half of which are from family businesses, encapsulates a principle that kept Toyota family business alive.

What a transformation and such resolve! Here are top three insights from that speech:

Over the past five years, oil and gas companies’ portfolios have shifted towards ever more hostile, extreme environments in search of reserves, intensifying recruitment for talent with highly specialised expertise. Deepwater projects are being subject to stricter regulations which may spread beyond deepwater operations. Technology is critical to deepwater drilling success and to the development of unconventional oil and gas resources.
