Lessons Learned from CEP Implementation The most common factors acting as barriers to CEP implementation Source: National Report on Community Energy Plan Implementation

Success Factors for Implementation Building Capacity for Implementation Working within the local government’s limits of authority  Focus on partnerships Early, sustained engagement is key – engage broadly!  Identify points of commonality between the CEP objectives and community stakeholders  Focus on actions being supported by utilities, provincial government and others stakeholders Examples  City of Guelph – Taskforce and Working Groups  City of Markham – PowerStream and conservation

Partnerships Source: National Report on Community Energy Plan Implementation

Community Energy Planning Process Baseline Study and Energy Maps Introduce an energy lens to municipal planning Integrate with the broader energy planning context CEP Development ENGAGEMENT 8

External & Internal Partners Desired Outcomes Gas utilities Industry Electrical utilities TransportationNon-profits Consumers Economic Development Planning, Environment, Infrastructure Developers & builders City Council PublicInstitutions Who and What to Consider when Developing a CEP

Engagement: utilities are critical partners Data sharing: “5 and 25” rule and variations -> originated at Enbridge and looking at improvements. Conservation: Mandated targets (CDM for electricity and DSM for natural gas) present an opportunity for alignment and expansion of CEP priorities and look for additional opportunities for residential, commercial and industrial conservation programs. Distributed Generation: Renewable energy, storage, emergency generation, standby & backup generation, CHP (cogeneration), microgrid

Building Political and Staff Support  Identify key messages for different audiences  Tracking and monitoring progress using key performance indicators  Use data to tell a story Examples -City of London: Economic Benefits -City of Edmonton: Risk Management Success Factors for Implementation

Alignment with economic objectives  Retaining dollars spent on energy locally  Business retention and attraction  Market differentiation  Neighbourhood revitalization  Affordability  Employee attraction, retention and productivity

Alignment with risk and resilience objectives  Mitigating impacts from extreme weather  Improving security of energy supply  Managing high and increasing energy prices  Meeting air quality standards Alignment with environmental objectives  Improving air quality and reducing GHG emissions

Improving the Clarity of the CEP  Make the plan “SMART” (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound)  Tie timelines and accountability to actions  Integrate energy into existing plans and processes  Use decision making tools (e.g. energy maps) Examples  City of Guelph - Development Approvals Process  City of Toronto – Green Development Standards  City of Toronto – Official Plan Review Success Factors for Implementation

Energy + Emission Profile Community Form + Geography Provincial Policy Context Local Policy Context Local Socio Economics Strategic Action Plans What to Consider When Developing a CEP …involves a strategic situational analysis

Municipal tools: municipal scale  Official Plan and OP Amendments: Energy can be integrated into every component of an OP  Zoning By-laws: Includes requirements related to the use of a site, as well as the area, density and height of development  Building Code Requirements / Green Development Standards: Communities can introduce building standards/guidelines for developers  Energy Mapping: municipalities can use energy maps to identify baseline energy consumption

Municipal tools: Energy mapping

Municipal tools: site scale  FIT/CHPSOP applications for Standard Offer Contracts  Development approvals/applications requiring reference to CEP objectives  Development Charges to influence development patterns, transportation requirements and energy needs  Local Improvement Charges to incent energy retrofits at the household level

City of London, Ontario > City of London, Ontario

ChallengesSuccess Factors Lack of staff and financial capacity Limits of local government authority  Focus on partnerships  Focus on actions with provincial or utility support Lack of political and staff support/leadership  Identify the economic benefits of the actions in the plan  Track, monitor and report progress using key performance indicators  Use data to tell a story The next steps are not clear  Make the plan “SMART” (specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound)  Tie timelines and accountability to actions  Integrate energy into existing plans  Decision making tools – energy mapping
