| What parts of the current workshop worked well? |
| Briefness of individual subjects |
| Small size - nice to meet & know people |
| Excellent chance to talk about integration in general! |
| Networking at the meeting breaks |
| Great blend of topics |
| Questions and Answer sessions were interesting and engaging. |
| Very good presentations |
| Networking |
| Good timing/pacing of presentations. |
| Excellent, knowledgeable speakers |
| Everything was well coordinated; and the presentations varied. |
| Hawaiian renewable energy information and big plan that was shared |
| What suggestions do you have to improve a grid integration needs assessment workshop? |
| Visit more and different field sites like NELHA |
| Expand the number of countries participating |
| More information on costs and strategies for dealing with cost impacts on society. This type of information is important with large, low-income populations. |
| Add a utility to the program to speak to their concerns and needs from the different technologies. |
| Have more participation from other (non) APEC countries |
| Get real life practitioners to talk about actual experiences, problems they face, and solutions discovered |
| Possibly a little more lead time |
| Foreign guests from developing countries may also be a factor (in having more participants). |
| Someone from a utility should participate |
| Provide overview documents in advance, instead of in the workshop folders |
| What suggestions do you have to encourage other participants and/or organizations to attend future REGIS-type workshops? |
| Will you please share the e-mail list? |
| Probably need a wider distribution (I found out about this workshop by "accident".) |
| We need more lead time to plan on attending workshops like this. |
| Add more or wider topics on the utility side |
| Invite participation early |
| Announce new plans, trials, etc., to more developing countries |
| Start planning a year in advance |
