1 CAPE TOWN Institutionalising Low Carbon Development LOCS Dar Es Salaam 2013 Sarah Ward Energy and Climate Change City of Cape Town

2 Story with a gap Where did we begin Where are we now Strategy and building up layers Anchoring the work in projects growing deep roots

3 1998 Sustainable Energy and Environment Programme: SEED Entirely home made, but funded by DANCED and passion One munic one NGO - one SEED Advisor - one Champion (5 centres) Learn by doing reflect reflect reflect and DO Be strategic look for the hooks Make it LOUD speak out, write, apply for Awards and win

4 City of Cape Town Making energy visible Getting some understanding of your energy picture State of Energy Reports 2003, 2007, 2011,

5 The value of comparison Cape Town Emissions in a Global Context per capita São Paulo (2003) Delhi (2000) Rio de Janeiro (1998) Barcelona (1996) Mexico City (2000) Stokholm (2005) Tokyo (1998) London (2006) 2 Cape Town (metro, 2004) Beijing (1998) 1 New York City (2005) 0 1 Cape Town Source: Urban Areas Carbon and Climate Governance Patricia Romero Lankao

6 City of Cape Town 2003 Cape Town Hosted first City Energy Strategies conference Developed Energy and Climate Change Strategy made familiar to all and until : 2006 Council adopted it

7 City of Cape Town 2006 and 2008 rolling blackouts helped Reality of no more cheap electricity break with the past cheap and dirty Determination to take some control of the city s energy future 2008 IDP Strategic Focus Area Energy for a Sustainable City 2008/9 Energy Committee EMT sub-com Workstreams 2009 Cape Town s Energy Future Study Energy and Climate Action Plan: 128 projects

8 POLITICAL Energy Committee 11 Councillors, Mayco member chair Administrative Exec Management Team Sub-committee Energy & Climate Change Work stream 1: Energy Security and Carbon Mitigation Energy and Climate Change Manager and Team Work stream 2: Climate Resilience Disaster Risk Management Work stream 3: Communication and education

9 Energy and Climate Change Approach Goal Criteria 1 Criteria 2 Energy Efficiency Renewable Energy Energy Security Low Carbon Economic Development Resilient City Poverty Alleviation Public Transport Compact City Local Energy Business Development Job Creation Lower Risk Localisation Improved Health/Quality of Life Better Access to Urban Goods

10 CAPE TOWN S ENERGY FUTURES STUDY Comparison between BAU and Optimum Energy Future Strategy/Policy development Prioritisation of programme areas and projects Energy Research Centre DANIDA

11 What actions will get us to an OPTIMUM ENERGY FUTURE? Business as usual 1 Electricity efficiency 2 Transport efficiency Optimum Energy Future 3 Renewable electricity supply Optimum Energy Future interventions do not compromise energy service delivery.

12 Energy and Climate Action Plan 130+ projects detailed info, business plans for priority projects OBJECTIVE 2. 10% RENEWABLE AND CLEANER ENERGY SUPPLY BY 2020; ALL GROWTH IN ELECTRICITY DEMAND TO BE MET BY CLEANER / RENEWABLE SUPPLY

14 CITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY 2013 ONE CAPE GOALS: Educating Cape Every person will be appropriately educated for opportunity Centres of ecological, creative, science and social innovation Enterprising Cape Green Cape Anyone who wants to be economically active is able to work Entrepreneurial destinations of choice Water, energy and waste services delivered sustainably Leader in Green Economy Connecting Cape Welcoming, inclusive and integrated communities Global meeting place and connector with new markets Living Cape Liveable, accessible, high-opportunity neighbourhoods & towns Ranked as one of greatest places to live in world Leading Cape Ambitious socially responsible leadership at all levels World-class institutions

16 KEY PROJECTS 1. Low income housing: ceilings, energy services 2. EE in City operations: Buildings, public lighting, traffic lights etc 3. Electricity savings campaign 4. Solar Water Heater roll out: high pressure 5. Small Scale Embedded Gen (PV), Darling Wind Farm PPA 6. Internal Energy Management Policy Resource efficient development policy 7. Low carbon development planning

17 Objective 2: Council operations: 10% reduction in energy consumption Innovation: Guaranteed savings contracts Internal Energy Management Protocol Solar water heaters on facilities Buildings retrofits Smart metering training and behaviour change of managers/staff Street lights, Traffic lights Smart driver training

18 Line Period Street lights Traffic lights Retail value of savings (present value) Investment to end June 2012 Source of funding Energy savings (kwh) Advertise your successes M&V on current EE projects: Year 1: 2012/13 Year 1-5: 2012/ /17 Year 1: 2012/13 Building retrofits Total Total avoided payment to Eskom R R R R R R R R R R R R R R DoRA EEDSM DoRA EEDSM DoRA EEDSM & DANIDA CITY Over 1 year Over 5 years Year 1-5: 2012/ year payback: grant funding/ee funding..now City

19 Electricity Saving Campaign City aligned with citizens in face of tariff increases

20 The effects of wasting electricity were demonstrated to Capetonians using community press, community centres, the internet, as well as by harnessing tactical opportunities.

21 Now this has grown into: Residential Solar Water Heater Accreditation Programme

22 Sell the benefits of the programme: Why? Eg. Solar water heater programme For each 100,000 installed R 400million p.a. that would have been paid to Eskom kept in City When SWH s are paid off will result in ~R1billion p.a. savings in households pockets to be spent in CT economy About R1billion invested in local solar water heater business jobs, economic sector dev Electricity savings of MWh p.a. (4% of total current consumption) ( tons carbon) Enough for all forever? Revenue impacts to the City?

23 Obj % Renewable Energy supply by 2020 Darling Wind Power Purchase Agreement and now Gas Fired Power Station? Small scale embedded generation (SSEG) commercial and residential Renewable and cleaner energy supply in Council operations

24 Focus on areas for integrated implementation of Low Carbon Development Obj 4. Spatial planning - Low carbon development projects
