Current Assessment In line with APEC aspiration, Brunei Darussalam is working towards an ambitious goal of a 45 percent energy intensity reduction by 2035 (with 2005 as the base year). For 2005, at GDP of USD 6,864 million and population of 370,000, Brunei Darussalam energy intensity was at 390 ton oil equivalent per US$ Million GDP. In 2012, Brunei Darussalam's energy intensity was at 346 ton oil equivalent per US$ Million GDP at a GDP of USD 9,895 and population of 401,000. Anticipated increase in power requirements from the development of Brunei Darussalam's emerging downstream industry and other economic activities will increase domestic energy demand, while new oil and gas discoveries are expected to boost the country's GDP. Significant measures thus need to be carried out as to ensure the reduction of the country's energy intensity. Priority Initiative: Evaluate Range of Options to Reduce Energy Intensity
