Future Challenges and Opportunities for the Environment Challenges Facing Local Authority in Achieving 2020 Energy Reduction Targets Peter Keavney Energy Manager Galway City Council

Background  Climate Action & Low Carbon Development Bill 2015  S.I. 542 (2009) – EU Energy Services Directive  S.I. 426 (2014) – EU Energy Efficiency Directive 27/12/EU  NEEAP (2009 and revised 2012)  33% reduction target  NREAP (2010)  SEAI Monitoring & Reporting System  Individual LA Agreed Baseline  All LA are reporting  Overall >85% PS Reporting  LA Annual Report – Energy Update

Challenges – 2020 Targets  Where to Start ?  Access to Accurate & Verifiable Energy Data  Baseline: average 2001 – 2005, 2006 – 2008, 2009  LA Agresso/FMS Energy Data Capacity  New Energy Consumption – After Baseline Period/Year  Growth/New Service Provision  Performance Indicators – what Activity Metric?  Irish Water Sites/Consumption (2014 )  Internal Staff & Time Resources  Project Capital, Funding Strategy  Energy Savings – Recycled Revenue  Senior Management Commitment  LA Technical Expertise & Knowledge  SEAI/AIEA Workshops, Networks and Supports  Current Low Energy Prices

START - Practical Approach  Benefit : Effort Ratio (Savings v’s Work Input)  What can be left out? (e.g. Domestic, Attributable)  Eliminate Energy Waste – Good Housekeeping  “greenest unit is the one you stopped using”  Monthly/Quarterly Monitor & Target (Top Sites)  Introduce low cost control measures/Staff Awareness  Billing Errors & Meter Readings  Target the Right Fuel Type - Efficiency Measures  Target is based on Primary Consumption  Target Current Project Upgrades  Design OUT consumption – next greenest unit - avoided  Fuel Switching (e.g. Gas v’ Electric Storage Heating)  Affordable Renewable Energy Technologies

Energy Balance Overview

Electricity Balance Overview Notes: 8 of 156 Electricity Sites 85% Total Electricity Use UM PL > 70% 9,200 Street Lights 440 Metered 8760 Unmetered LED Upgrades 5% €4m - PL 33%

START - Practical Approach  Target Electricity  Highest Unit Price (€c/kWh)  Highest Primary Energy Factor (2.5)  Most Benefit to KPI and Target  Highest Carbon Intensity Factor (500g CO 2 /kWh)  Onsite Generation Opportunities – import displacements  High Potential Renewable Energy Integration  Identify High Usage Electricity Sites  Monitoring, Targeting & Trends  Public/Street Lighting – include T/L, Metered (GIS) and Unmetered  Leisure Centres/Swimming Pools  Office Buildings  Depots  Cultural Buildings – Museums/Theatres  Community Centres  Improve Access for Meter Reading/Smart Remote

Resourcing & Verification of Energy Data  Electricity/Natural Gas  SEAI Meter Operators – all sites  Internal Policy re New Connections – upload to OGP/Supplier  Supplier’s Online Billing Management System  LA Accounts Payable – stray bills/sites!  OIL/Transport Fuels  OGP Framework – Single Supplier/Periodic Data Request  Petrol – Agresso Costs (Tender for Single Supplier?)  LPG  OGP Single Supplier – extract Domestic Accounts  Wood Chip/Pellet/Other Solid Fuels  Contract Obligation Periodic Fuel Quantity Data  Heat/Electricity Exports  Separate in-line Meter (Submetering)

Consumption After Baseline  What does a LA do?  How does this impact on Energy Consumption?  Increase in Service Provision > Energy Consumption  Activity Metric  KPI – Energy Performance Indicator (EnPI)  Growth in Population Served (Census Data)  Expansion of Urban Centres (Qty of Public Lighting/No. Fleet)  Additional Office Space/New Services (Floor Area Data)  Increased Operational/Working Hours (CORE Data 2010)  Reduced staff resource (FTEE inverse) ???  Combination (Composite) Metric with Verified Weighting Rationale  Measurable and Verifiable (SEAI DVA)  GCC – Population and Street Lights Increase

LA Resources & Commitment  Managing Energy is just Good Management  Energy Savings = Cost Savings  Cost Savings must be visible – Internal SMT Monitor & Report  SMT Recognition – Recycle Cost Savings (%)  Leverage of National Support Schemes (SEAI, TII, etc)  Capital Investment Measures (>20% savings)  Energy Performance Contracts (EPC) – Project Procurement  LA In-house Capacity  Integrate with Existing LA Obligations  Display Energy Certificates (DEC)  Energy Audits (>€35,000/year energy spend)  Galway City Energy Balance & Target Reductions  2020 and Beyond
