Power cuts have been synonymous with Olympic games throughout modern history: In 2008, China shut down power hungry industries, such as petrochemicals, due to severe power shortages in some host cities. Sydney Airport suffered a total power failure during the 2004 Olympic Games. Athens, too, was not without power problems - but was without power on a number of occasions - during the games in 2000.

juegos For 2012, the Olympic Development Authority has secured autonomous power generation at Stratford City and Olympic Park, to help ensure the games themselves go without a hitch. But demand for electricity during that time is unpredictable and London businesses (already having to compete for energy in an overcrowded market) will face unprecedented vulnerabilities. For them, securing electricity supplies cannot be guaranteed without implementation - now - of a robust power protection strategy, including installation of UPS (uninterruptible power supplies), a source of alternative standby power (diesel generator, for example) and fuel storage.

Now is the time, whilst there are two years, to prepare for power protection in 2012. It starts with a review of power protection requirements in terms of criticality of load, capacity, load size, the need for redundancy and resilience, sufficiency of existing uninterruptible power supplies and the need to reduce or minimize energy consumption.

trabajo Social Inclusion and Responsibility VANOC has committed to caring for the needs of the people helping to build and develop the venues, as well as those of the athletes and spectators. External stakeholders, such as the communities and NGO’s involved, are also given consideration before decisions are made. Another focus area for the organising committee of the 2010 Winter Olympics is the economic benefit to disadvantaged communities. VANOC seeks to include these communities wherever possible, so that they not only benefit in terms of monetary reward, but also in their involvement in such a significant event.  

Aboriginal Participation and Collaboration Aboriginal participation is very important to VANOC, Vancouver and Canada alike. Not only does this benefit the Aboriginal community, but it has reciprocal benefits for the entire Olympic Movement. VANOC is working with partners to ensure that Aborigine people from all over the country are brought to the site of the event as volunteers, athletes, performers, spectators, etc…  

As one of only two sliding tracks in Canada, the Whistler Sliding Centre track will be a major asset after the 2010 Olympics to the improvement and development of high performance sliding sports in Canada.

Sport for Sustainable Living VANOC seeks to promote sport as the solution to a healthy lifestyle, and to inspire people from all over the world to live in a sustainable and beneficial way. The aim is also to promote sport as a way to unite a community and to engage youth in an upbuilding activity as a way to prevent crime and other negative activities as a result of boredom You can be published without charge.
