ENERGY MANAGEMENT IN SAVINJSKA, ŠALEŠKA AND KOROŠKA REGION Boštjan KRAJNC Energy Agency KSSENA Bratislava 20th of June, 2011

Solving of energy problems Reducing the impact of Climate Changes: Rational use of energy Renewable energy sources Energy management

Municipality Commitment Commitment of municipality: To create adequate administrative structures in municipalities:

Definition of Energy goals Reduction of costs and energy use in public sector Reduction of green-house-gas (GHG) emissions Development and implementation of innovative products and services Implementation of pilot or demonstrative projects Gain of non-refundable funds Stimulate the private and industrial sector to increase RES and RUE Encouragements for inflow of capital for investment projects Rise of energy culture of general and expert public Rise the awareness on energy issue

Development of Energy Management Adequate administrative structures in municipality: Energy manager (internal or external expert organization; Energy manager has specific hierarchic position) Direct link with decision makers: Mayor, Head of Department of Works and Services, Head of Mayor‘s office, etc; Cooperation with Department of Economy and Finance (possibilities of investments, budget, etc);

The role of the energy manager Role of the energy manager – full time: Analyses of energy supply, consumption and costs (Secure, stabile and quality of energy supply); Preparation of RES and RUE measures (Energy Action plan – Energy concept); Communication between decision makers and maintainers, accouters, etc; Energy audits Measurements of the Environmental impacts; To create long-term strategy on energy management; Monitoring - Energy bookkeeping Education, motivate and raise the awareness of all employees;

Sharing of local/regional energy agency with other cities Local or regional Energy Agency: -Many similar action; -Sharing of costs; -Transfer of know – how between municipalities; -Exchange of experiences

Financial mechanisms to facilitate energy management in public sector -Own resources (budget) -Private – public partnership -Credit (Commercial banks, Eko sklad, etc) -ESCO model – (Energy Performance Contracting EPC) problem of Municipalities‘ volume of borrowing -National and EU founds (ELENA, IEE, IPA, Objective 3, Cohesion founds, etc)

Motivation of employees on energy issue Seminars, workshops; Energy certificate; Energy bookkeeping; Energy stickers Brochures, leaflets, etc

Energy Strategy Municipality with no strategy: -Action plan not-created or created but weak execution -No specific plans (in general only – like more implementation of RES); -No sequence of action (reconstruction of heating system before of general adaptation); -No responsible person or department for measures of RES and RUE -The lack of founding the projects Municipality with strategy : -Energy Programs are sustainable and efficient: public lightening, public buildings and public transport; -Many weak points identified during the implementation; -Many actions done to reduce energy consumption; -Many pilot projects (PV street lights; CHP in public buildings, PV power plant in public buildings, etc)

Energy strategy Benchmarking analyses of 3 municipalities with different strategies

Energy Act - All public buildings with over 500 m 2 of netto heat surface E NERGY BOOKKEEPING MAIN FUNCTIONS: - mangers recognize their consumption; invoice management (advanced energy bookkeeping), - energy and financial data management, - analysis, - financial and energy planning, - energy and financial reports, - financial and energetic planning for energy efficient measures, - monitoring, - all your buildings connected in one comprehensive energy- informational system.

Energy certification - Comparison of CO 2 emissions between 2008 and 2010

Energy certification Total energy savings -1,03 %

Energy management of Velenje, Celje and Slovenj Gradec municiplities 2004: Energy concept of MO Velenje, Celje and Slovenj Gradec; 2006: Establishing of Energy Agency KSSENA, within the framework of Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE); Number of employees: 6 Founders: Municipality of Velenje (MOV), Municipality of Celje (MOC), Municipality of Slovenj Gradec (MOSG) and Public utilities company (KPV); 2007 – 2011: -Operational plan for energy reconstruction of public lightening in MO Velenje and Slovenj Gradec; -Energy audits, analyses, energy bookkeeping, energy reports (consumption and costs), etc; -Action planned for RES and RUE; -Implementation of RES and RUE process.
