1 Good practices and tools in Barcelona 1st Training centralized session Carme Melcion Fontbernat Technical Office of Climate Change and Sustainability Diputació de Barcelona March 26th 2014

2 The Covenant of Mayors: Energy planning of the municipality An EU initiative (2008) A way to involve LG in the fight against climate change and fulfil EU commitments : 20/20/20 in 2020 Greenhouse emissions reduction: minimum 20% Energy efficiency increase: 20% Renewable energy sources: 20%

3 The Covenant of Mayors: Energy planning of the municipality LG commitments Greenhouse emission reduction > 20% in 2020 (DIBA takes 2005 as baseline year) Draft a SEAP and carry out actions proposed Monitoring report every 2 years Organise Energy days and promotion of the Covenant MUNICIPALITY SEAP scope Industry Primary sector Transport Residential sector Tertiary sector Waste management Water cycle energy uses Local energy production TOWN COUNCIL Municipal fleet Buildings, facilities, infrastructures Public lighting and traffic lights Water pumping

4 Support given by Diputació de Barcelona SEAP drafting(financing100%; 3,1M spent) Implementing actions Communication and dissemination Monitoring 210 signatoriesout of311 municipalitiesin theprovince. 195 SEAP already drafted

5 Actions foreseen in SEAPs ACTIONS Number of studied SEAPs 175 Number of actions Expected energy savings (MWh) Expected energy production (MWh) Expected emissions' reduction (tco2) Estimated global costs(m ) Town Council costs (M ) 907 % actions in buildings (including RES) and municipal fleet respect total actions 58% % Local energy production actions respect 12% % Local energy production actios by public authorities respect total local energy production 79%

6 By topics: Cost per l'ajuntament tco 2 estalviades Nre d'accions Equipaments municipals i infraestructures Enllumenat públic i semàfors Flotes de vehicles municipals i transport públic Compra verda Planificació Transport privat i comercial Sector domèstic i serveis Energies renovables i cogeneració Sensibilització, formació Aigua i residus Altres Most actions focus on municipal buildings and facilities and on public lighting, even though they aren t the greatest emitters. Most actions for residential and tertiary sectors are based on communication, dissemination and raising awareness.

8 ACTIONS HAVE TO BE CARRIED OUT COMMUNICATION AND RAISING AWARENESS ACTIONS Specific publications Activities along the EUSEW Cine forums Short films pack (climate change as a central topic) (collaboration with FICMA-Environmental International Film Festival) Theatre plays for schools Conferences and workshops Cooperation with the Catalan Institute of Energy ICAEN (Catalan Government)

9 COMMUNICATION AND RAISING AWARENESS ACTIONS Actions foreseen in analyzed SEAPs Communication and raising awareness actions: 581 (175 SEAPs) DIBA s support Between 2010 and 2013 (4 years) we have reached 156municipalities, 441 communicationactions, that is 75% of signatories. Cooperation with ICAEN (124 activities), the Network of Towns and Villages towards Sustainability and EUSEW

10 Our strategy to implement energy actions in municipal buildings and public lighting Own funds Own funds Aids from other Public Administrations Savings without investments Based on management and behavioural changes (very low cost or zero cost) Investments through third parties Projects that create enough incomes or savings to finance themselves with a reasonable payback period Private public partnership (PPP)

11 ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND SAVINGS IN MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES Low cost actions Based on the knowledge of the final users and managers and in behavioural changes. -Euronet50/50 (IEE, finished): Participation of 13 schools of 13 municipalities in Barcelona. 9 countries involved and 50 schools. -Euronet50/50max (IEE, ongoing) 13 countries, 500 schools and 48 municipal buildings/facilities. In Barcelona 100 schools and 10 municipal buildings from 50 municipalities. - Support to municipal energy management: -Energy accounting in 10municipalities, it will be extended to 10 more. -Study on the energy consumption of 100buildings of several municipalities.

12 ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND SAVINGS IN MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES - Loan of equipments to assess energy performance of municipal buildings or facilities: smart meters, grid analyzers, luxometers, thermographic camera... 68municipalities (>30% signatories) have had different devices: smart meters and grid analyzers mainly -Financial support (2011 to 2013) to implement energy accounting and remote management systems to 33 LG : (Final cost ) -Financial support for energy accounting and management through the aids given every 4 years by DIBA: NEW This year, 2014, we also give smart meters through our yearly aids

13 ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND SAVINGS IN MUNICIPAL BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES - There are some Local Energy Agencies in the province which give support to municipalities in energy accountability and management. -Capacity building: Training to municipal staff: specific courses (>400 attendants). Public lighting energy management New technologies in public lighting Solar thermal installations Photovoltaic installations in public buildings Energy audits in public buildings ESCo and public sector Basic energy management Nre. assitents/ens locals nre assistents nre ens locals Furthermore seminars, workshops and specific training sessions are organized

14 ACTIONS IN BUILDINGS, PUBLIC LIGHTING AND RES Actions that require investments Support given through the REDIBA (ELENA) project: -Energy savings and efficiency in buildings: 38 studies, total cost of the studies: , which generated a turnover of 5,45M. -Public lighting: 75 studies, total cost of the studies: , turnover: 83,5M - RES: 63 studies, total cot of the studies: ; turnover: 5,45M - Furthermore: 14 legal studies and other transversal topics: Total 190studies (for 107municipalities), studies cost 2,01M, turnover 122,5M.

15 ACTIONS IN BUILDINGS, PUBLIC LIGHTING AND RES Actions that require investments Financial support through the aids given by DIBA every year -Energy savings and efficiency in buildings:46local Authorities; support of to carry out projects with a total investment cost of Public lighting:54 Local Authorities; to carry out projects with a total investment cost of 1,8M. - RES: 10 Local Authorities; to carry out projects with a total investment cost of Total aids: to carry out projects with a total investment cost of 3,1M

16 ACTIONS IN BUILDINGS, PUBLIC LIGHTING AND RES Actions that require investments Financial support through the every 4 years agreement plan: -Energy savings and efficiency in buildings: - Public lighting: Local Authorities: 23; Total support: 5,1M. Local Authorities: 7; Total support: 1,5M. -Energies renovables: Local Authorities: 13; Total support: 1,8M. In total 43 Local Authorities and financial support up to 8,4M There has been technical and financial support too for mobility actions and communication and raising awareness actions.

17 ACTIONS IN BUILDINGS, PUBLIC LIGHTING AND RES BUT... Where does the money come? -Own funds (some cases) - Subsidies and aids from other administrations, among them DIBA Usually a combination of both If a municipality spends its investment capacity, possibility ofborrowing and grants and subsidies from other administrations in projects that do not generate savings, it can only use it "once"and probably increase its current cost spending. If instead of that, the municipality prioritizes projects that generate savings, it can capitalize them and use that money twice - Third parties: private-public partnerships(some examples): - Maintenance + investments contract(duration: around 6 years) - Equipment leasing or renting(duration: from 5 to 10 years) -ESCo contract(epc, i.e.)(duration: > = 10 years)

18 CONCLUSIONS What are the main barriers?

19 But there are some other barriers that have to be overcome: - Small projects have few interest for private investors - Lack of knowledge of new financing mechanisms and how they fit in public administration legal procedures by technicians, secretaries and legal services of LG -Lack of coordination between different departments -Lack of knowledge of the real energy consumption of most buildings, facilities and other infrastructures by the Town Council. Drafting a SEAP helps updating this information and makes clear how energy is being managed. -Maintenance: the great forgotten. Right now it is more based oncorrection than on prevention. - Good practices are not widespread enough -In Spain: energy rules and RES rules change too often.

20 SOME HOPEFUL CONCLUSIONS.. Even in nowadays complicated circumstances, it is not only possible but also an opportunity to implement energy efficiency projects by the municipalities. There is a clear opportunity for the municipalities to implementlow cost or non investment actions: in some cases savings up to 30% Projects that need investments can often be paid by themselves with the savings generated, through public private partnerships schemes of funding
