MUNICIPAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMMES MEETING OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, 7 AUGUST 2012 Linda Manyuchi Technical Specialist: Energy Efficiency

Outline of Presentation The role of municipalities with respect to energy efficiency Progress with respect to implementation of municipal energy efficiency programmes Impact on municipal revenue Support to municipalities with respect to energy efficiency SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Implementation Programme

The role of municipalities with respect to energy efficiency National Energy Efficiency Strategy Residential sector - 17.9% of demand Transportation sector - 25.7% Municipalities are key with respect to implementation of energy efficiency programmes Municipalities are implementing EE programmes Own operations Customers Some have specific institutional arrangements to implement EE programmes

The role of municipalities with respect to energy efficiency cont. Benefits of implementing EE programmes Savings on overall municipal electricity bill Savings for residents Savings on money spent on infrastructure Environmental protection Energy security Equity Economic development

Progress with respect to implementation of municipal energy efficiency programmes Municipalities which have made good progress regarding establishing institutional arrangements Sol Plaatje Ethekwini Ekhuruleni City of Cape Town

Types of interventions Progress with respect to implementation of municipal energy efficiency programmes cont. Types of interventions Urban planning and building control – e.g. COJ Promotion of energy efficiency in new developments Criteria for assessing energy efficiency in applications Conditions for development to take place Densification Building design SANS 204 SWH Street lighting EE in municipal buildings – lighting, HVAC, energy management EE in waste water treatment facilities – e.g. COJ

Progress with respect to implementation of municipal energy efficiency programmes cont. Type of interventions Transportation Improved public transport EE in municipal fleet High occupancy vehicle lanes Non-motorized transport Park and ride

Impact on municipal revenue Short to medium term: little impact Long term: significant impact Municipalities must factor this in NT funding framework to cater for this, e.g. incentives for energy efficient municipalities

Support to municipalities with respect to energy efficiency Municipal funds Conditional grant from NT ESKOM IDM Loans – DBSA, etc Donor funds PPP

Support to municipalities with respect to energy efficiency cont. Donor funds DANIDA (funding came to an end in 2010) British High Commission Pretoria – support to Sustainable Energy Africa REEP – support to Sustainable Energy Africa SDC – through SALGA GIZ

SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Implementation Programme Agreement between SALGA and Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC): 2010 - 2013 Other implementation partner: Department of Energy SALGA: Facilitate implementation of the local government part of the programme Sol Plaatje, Mbombela, King Sabatha Dalindyebo, Rustenburg, Polokwane

Activities of Programme SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Implementation Programme cont. Activities of Programme Developing energy efficiency strategies and implementation plans for five pilot municipalities Institutional capacity assessments, planning and development at SALGA and the five pilot municipalities in relation to their role and mandate with respect to energy efficiency Knowledge sharing related to implementation of energy efficiency initiatives in SALGA member municipalities Development of communication structures related to energy efficiency between the national and local level

SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Implementation Programme cont. Activity Progress Developing energy efficiency strategies and implementation plans for five pilot municipalities State of Energy Reports commissioned for five pilot municipalities Institutional capacity assessments, planning and development Service provider to be appointed Knowledge sharing Workshops held with three SALGA provincial offices Workshops hosted with SEA Workshop with international experts Communication structures between national and local level Discussions with DoE in Progress – communication with DoE regarding municipal energy efficiency programmes

SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Implementation Programme cont. Conduct Institutional Capacity Assessments at SALGA and Pilot municipalities Complete State of Energy Reports Compile Energy Efficiency Strategies and Action Plans for two municipalities Investigate Financial Implications of implementation of Energy Efficiency in municipalities Knowledge Sharing activities

Ability to meet electricity demand is going to remain a challenge...
