Sustainable Energy for Future and for All: Experiences from Urban Energy Transition 12 May 2015, Melaka 15th International Convention on Melaka Twin Cities Emani Kumar, ICLEI Deputy Secretary General and Regional Director-ICLEI South Asia Secreteriat Image Credit: http://thesolutionsproject.org 1 Introducing ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) • An international city network established in 1990 that advances local sustainability. • ICLEI‟s mission is “to build and serve a worldwide movement of local governments to achieve tangible improvements in global sustainability with special focus on environmental conditions through cumulative local actions.” • 1000+ members in 86 countries, representing 660 million people in mega-cities, super-cities, urban regions, large cities, small and mediumsized cities & towns. Also States / Provinces as members. • Main activities: (i) Support our members with technical expertise, tools, guidance. (ii) Facilitate city peer exchange, support networking. (iii) Operate global processes (iv) Conduct international advocacy and representation. 2 Offices around the world 3 Sustainable Energy for All • Launched in September 2011 by UN Secretary-General Ban Kimoon to mobilize action from all sectors of society in support of three interlinked objectives by 2030 • Buildings • District Energy 4 Sustainable Energy for All • • Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon hosted the Climate Summit 2014 at UN headquarters in New York on 23 September. Inviting world leaders from public and private sector to bring bold announcements and actions to the Summit that will reduce emissions, strengthen climate resilience, and mobilize political will for a meaningful legal agreement in 2015. 5 Urban Energy is Key in Unlocking Potential • While cities occupy only 3% of global land area! • Urban energy use projected to increase upto 75-80% by 2030 • Cities provide a number of high impact opportunities for advancing RE and EE – – – – – Efficient procurement practices in municipal services and infrastructure Retrofit of commercial, residential and public/municipal buildings Stringent building codes and appliance energy efficiency standards Use of rooftops for solar technologies and cool roof techniques Deployment of smart grids and grid integrated RE systems Sources: IPCC Fifth Assessment Report; EEA (2015): Towards a more urban world; http://www.un.org/wcm/webdav/site/sustainableenergyforall/shared/Documents/SEFAAction%20Agenda-Final.pdf 6 Cities recognize the Need for Action • Energy and climate action plans are being developed in many cities Sources: Working Group 3 Contribution to IPCC Fifth Assessment Report 7 Challenges for Sustainable/Smart Energy in Cities • Disparity in investments in fossil fuel compared to renewables • Limited local government capacity and availability of finance • Goals must be linked to financing options and suitable policy frameworks • Varying degree of control over energy generation and distribution assets by local governments • Constraints in scaling up renewable energy supply to meet the growing energy demand due to improved access and incomes • Time-lags in achieving commercial viability of technological solutions and build-up of manufacturing capacities • Adequate and simultaneous development of supporting infrastructure Source: Summary of REN21 RENEWABLES ACADEMY, Bonn, 2014 8 Key Enablers to Aid the Transition Tiered and integrated local approach Assess long term local resource availability and encourage their phased RE and EE utilization; factor in local institutional and governance framework and existing infrastructure Transformative local and national policy framework and instruments Leverage resources and create enabling mechanisms at local and national level such as feed-in-tariff, net metering, building codes, domestic manufacturing, municipal bonds, labelling & standards Economics Build a case for affordability and risk-free financing for RE& EE- RESCOs/ESCOs, priority lending Political willingness Leadership for supporting policy transformation and infrastructure creation Awareness and engagement Sensitize and create a sense of responsibility to trigger mass scale engagement within the civil society Source: Hafen City University Hamburg and World Future Council Foundation (2010): 100% Renewable Energy - and Beyond - for Cities 9 Involving Cities in SE for All • Local focus: Climate change mitigation Resilient energy systems Use of ICT Resource efficiency Skills development Local renewables Local job creation Smart grids & systems Local benefits • Value for local governments: Capacity building – policy and technology Access to information, knowledge, and a thematic network supported by experts Practical support to project implementers for demonstration projects Visibility and promotion of the leaders 10 ICLEI’s role is to support cities in SE for All • ICLEI is the main city partner in both the District Energy in Cities initiative and in the Building Energy Efficiency Accelerator, working closely with the other partners. • Support for local governments: – Information and knowledge sharing – Building capacity – Step-by-step guidance to develop enabling policies – Policy and technical support – City twinning / exchange system to share experiences among peers. – Explore relevant financial mechanisms to help local governments find suitable financing models 11 A Global Initiative to Unlock the Potential of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy In collaboration with: Impact of Leapfrogging to Modern District Energy Systems Savings on electricity bills increase purchasing power Free power generation capacity for development Meet Tomorrow‟s Energy Needs by Leapfrogging to Modern District Energy Systems Today!

With the help of the Building Efficiency Accelerator partners: • Commit to doubling the rate of building energy efficiency by 2030 in targeted sectors within their jurisdiction. • Implement one enabling policy and one demonstration project to be announced at COP21 in Paris. • Create a baseline of building energy efficiency performance, agreeing to track and report annual progress, and sharing experiences and best practices with other governments. 16 Buildings: Policy Menu of Options Codes • Building codes to establish minimum requirements of energy performance Targets • Targets to align interests and spur action in the building sector Leadership • Leadership programs and campaigns to recognize and promote actions in energy efficiency Benchmarking & Disclosure • Policies that generate data, baselines, and disclosure to support transparent building performance to the market Financial Mechanisms • Programs and incentives to provide funding to building efficiency improvements Utility Programs • Actions and programs for utility companies for energy efficiency progress Certifications • Certifications including green buildings that allow market differentiation of key environmental attributes 17 ICLEI Experiences: Integrating Local Renewables in Cities 18 LR South – South Cooperation “Local Renewables: South-south cooperation between cities in India, Indonesia and South Africa” • LR „model communities‟: Ekurhuleni and Yogyakarta • South-South exchange: learning from relevant developing country examples with similar contexts • Combining ICLEI‟s LR approach with Solar Cities programme approach Coimbatore – Ekurhuleni – Yogyakarta 19 LR South-South Co-operation: Project Activities Over 18 months, Coimbatore, Ekurhuleni and Yogyakarta exchanged knowledge and experiences to successfully adopt the Local Renewables initiative through: • Milestone process • Long term action planning • Identifying potential for improving service delivery • Catalyzing the community • Transforming into Solar Cities 0.
