Leadership - Engagement - Integration
SUCCESSFUL CEP IMPLEMENTATION COMMON FEATURES Efficient conversion Co-generation Distributed generation electric and heat Multi-fuel strategy Fossil flexibility coal, gas, oil Renewable thermal solar, biomass, biogas, municipal waste, river/ocean cooling Zero carbon electric wind, solar, nuclear Strong trend to biomass Low-energy transport Urban design favouring cycling, two wheelers and walking Comfortable multi-modal modal mass-transit with priority routing Measures to favour low-emissions vehicles Magnet for business and academic excellence Continuous improvement raising the bar! Implementation Over Decades
LEADERSHIP & COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
GUELPH 2007 COMMUNITY ENERGY PLAN SUPPORT CITY GROWTH CHALLENGE Leadership from Civic Consortium Mayor, Chamber of Commerce, Friends of Guelph, Guelph Developers Association, Guelph Hydro, Union Gas, School Boards, University of Guelph, Community members 50% Growth - 115,000 today; 180,000 in 2031 Sustainability - Community Value Global Best Practice benchmarks! Non-Partisan Engaged Community
GUELPH 2007 COMMUNITY ENERGY PLAN VISION AND GOALS Guelph will create a healthy, reliable and sustainable energy future by continually increasing the effectiveness of how we use and manage our energy and water resources Recognized as a location of choice for investment Variety of reliable, competitive energy, water and transport services will be available to all Energy use per capita and resulting greenhouse gas emissions will be less than the current global average Energy and water use per capita will be less than comparable Canadian cities All publicly funded investments will visibly contribute to meeting the four CEP goals Simple, Measurable, Eternal
GUELPH COMMUNITY ENERGY PLAN PRIORITIZED STRATEGIES 2008-2031 Above-Code efficiency standards All construction new and retrofit Energy Performance Label EU approach Required on all construction national pilot Transport efficiency Urban design and vehicle choices Heat recovery New district energy infrastructure for majority of city Renewables Biomass and Solar Photovoltaic in large scale Restructured multi-utility utility energy services supply company Changes needed to regulatory status-quo Immediate start on 4 Scale Projects Build scale areas that will eventually link across the city Tailored Solution Not a Buffet!
