1 - E N E R G Y M A T T E R S - Sustainable Redevelopment 3.0 in harbour cities Venue: Cinema Pathé ZAANDAM ZAANIJ - Amsterdam Metropolitan Area and 22 March 2013 (lunch-to-lunch) J. Verbeeck Antwerpen J. Gerbitz Hamburg P-A. Nilsson Malmö J. Cramer Chairman M. Torrent Barcelona C. Jong Amsterdam - Energy Matters - Urban redevelopment 3.0 with a leading role for sustainable energy: new opportunities for business and government in profits and cost reduction. A new orientation in urban redevelopment is deployed. Urban Redevelopment new style: incorporate more of the cities existing capital, do it in a sustainable way and make sure it meets the users demands. Here energy is a leading theme, next to e.g. water & waste, mobility and communication. This new challenge not only calls for another way of co-creation, but for alliances with new strategic partners as well. But:... how to actually do this in practice? Harbour cities have a strong mix of residential and industrial areas and (sustainable) energy production facilities in abundance. They are the perfect place to explore the introduction of the new strategy. This is addressed at the two-day conference Urban Redevelopment new coalitions with new energy: Energy matters. It provides insight into opportunities and current examples across the North Sea Region. In a lunch-to-lunch setting with international speakers the topics of changing roles of stakeholders, new opportunities for business, pitfalls and financing are discussed. The conference offers good opportunities for knowledge exchange, networking and forging new alliances.

Amsterdam: Energy harbour local sustainable energy provision Carla Jong (Amsterdam Port of Authority) The Amsterdam harbour hosts like many other EU-harbours large energy facilities. How to facilitate the energy transition for local energy provision in these energy harbours? Carla Jong will address the approach of the Port of Amsterdam Malmö: key success factors of a sustainable residential area Per-Arne Nilsson (City of Malmö) The Malmö-side of the twin port CMP with Copenhagen is slowly moving north. The older harbours area is now transferred in a sustainable residential area. What are the key success factors?

Covenant of Mayors Arnoud Rodenburg (Dutch Municipality of Midden Delfland) The Covenant of Mayors project is aiming to increase the number of Cities supporting the Covenant of Mayors. The Covenant of Mayors project will talk about its vision on how to connect the EU Climate Agenda and Urban Development to a driving force for Communities.

6 Barcelona: Public-Private cooperation on Energy Logistics Manel Torrent (Barcelona Energy Agency) Transforming the E-grid into an intelligent grid Bert Heerbaart (Alliander) The City of Amsterdam is making good progress in transforming the existing E-grid into an intelligent grid. This process has turned out to be not only an enabler for other sustainability projects but much more a trigger for many initiatives resulting in several alliances of both public and private parties. In his presentation Bert shows these developments in Amsterdam and the many sustainability initiatives resulting from it. Zaanstad: Sustainability in harbour area Amsterdam Metropolitan Area Dennis Straat Alderman (Zaanstad) The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area has a long strategic waterfront, with present and historic industrial buildings sprawled at its banks. New opportunities lie in the sustainable and energy-efficient combination of old, new and retrofitted functions. Finances on Sustainability - part 1: focus on government (University of Amsterdam) Frits Otte Renewable energy is said to be profitable. Where s the business case, who will invest, how do we connect to investors, private funds and other sources? Frits Otte is as staff member of the Centre for Energy of Amsterdam University engaged in the co-ordination of the research project IRIS: Institutional and Regulatory Innovations for Smart local energy systems. He will introduce the Centre and sketch the scope and deliverables of IRIS, thus giving an insight in the energy world and in some of the forgotten barriers when striving for sustainable solutions.

The question is which financial instruments governments should use (grants, loans or risk takings) and which European funds and subsidy schemes can be used. Finances on Sustainability - part 2: focus on business (TreFoil) Benno Schwarz (TBC)

8 3 POWERSESSIONS day 2 11:30 PICK YOUR OWN: POWER SESSION A New energy in old industrial buildings: how do national and local governments cooperate with private initiatives. RVOB (Martine de Vaan & Peter Vermeer), Hemmes group (Peter Ulle), Department of Infrastructure and Environment (Tjaart Vos), Moderated by Delft University of Technology (Gert-Joost Peek photo) If energy becomes an integral part of the urban planning strategy, what will change in public-private collaboration? Industrial heritage sites have a significant role to play in the regional urban regeneration challenge. Based on three Zaanstad examples we explore the possibilities for the re-use of land, infrastructures and buildings from the perspective of local energy generation and public-private partnering. PICK YOUR OWN: POWER SESSION B: The driving Force of Local Governments (Covenant of Mayors) The Covenant of Mayors project is aiming to increase the number of Cities supporting the Covenant of Mayors. The Covenant of Mayors project will talk about it s vision on how to connect the EU Climate Agenda and Urban Development to a driving force for Communities. Moderated by Dutch Climate Alliance (Roel Winter) PICK YOUR OWN: POWER SESSION C: Energy grids in transition: chances for new local co-operation Our energy grids will undergo a radical transition in de coming years. Change of demand patterns of electricity and natural gas, local energy production and electric traffic challenges the grid operators in managing the requested capacity, quality, safety and security for the end users. But is will also create new cha-+nces for balancing, storing and exchanging energy on a local scale. What are these new opportunities? What is the technical and financial impact on your business? In this power session we will explore the answers.
