Strategies Towards Energy Performance In Urban Planning ENHANCEMENT OF CITY ENERGY PLANS TUESDAY 16TH JULY 2013 www.stepupsmartcities.eu
Aims of today • To help enhance the city energy plan for Glasgow by: • reviewing the existing plan to identify strengths, gaps and issues • involving stakeholders in the process • looking at the wider context of city strategies and plans that SEAPs sit within • building shared vision for the new plan
What is STEP-UP? • €3m EU project Nov 2012- June 2015 – coordinated by University of Strathclyde • Partnership between 4 European Cities – developing a new approach to sustainable urban energy planning
STEP-UP Outcomes www.stepupsmartcities.eu • Create a model for energy planning to deliver further/ greater impact on EU 2020 energy targets. • Help deliver wider policy objectives i.e. energy security, regeneration, reduction of fuel poverty, greening the city. • Make cities better places to live, work, learn and do business.
What we are doing www.stepupsmartcities.eu
Structure of the project www.stepupsmartcities.eu
WP2: Enhancement of City Energy Plans • D2.1 Stakeholder analysis • D2.2 Gap and issue analysis for existing SEAP • D2.3 Analysis of current and projected energy flows within the city • D2.4 Vision and targets for each of the partner cities • D2.5 Inventory and assessment of energy actions • D2.5 Inventory and assessment of energy actions • D2.7 Enhanced SEAPs • D2.8 Implementation Plan – actions, monitoring, review • D2.9 Documentation of STEP-UP approach to enhancing SEAPs
Gap and Issue Analysis • SP reviewed all local, regional and national policies relating to SEAPs (buildings, transport, energy management, renewables etc) • Mind mapped these to show picture of legislative and policy framework • Spreadsheet summary to see where SEAP and City Plan 2, GCV SDP etc align and where not • Helps us move forward with the SEAP and input to LDP
Policies of the existing SEAP • Existing Glasgow SEAP submitted to CoM in Nov 2010 • Energy management • Reduce use of high carbon fuels • Low carbon energy systems • Low carbon heating: District Heating and CHP • Transport • Attitudes and Behaviour • Business Models and Financing • Creating Supportive Public Policy • Next Steps
What's working? • Working: • Energy management • Low carbon energy systems • Low carbon heating (but slow and fragmented) • Supportive public policy (need to go further) • Not as well as elsewhere: • Transport (city centre traffic reduction) • Business models and financing • Attitudes and behaviours
Process issues • Vision and ambition in Glasgow are strong • Stakeholder involvement seems generally good • Some data used in baseline inventory for SEAP missing e.g. electric vehicles, solar pv, biofuels • Cost estimates of actions missing • Local political commitment for some recommendations missing (traffic reduction in city centre) • Infrastructure to deliver on the ambition
What are the opportunities? • Huge opportunity for a new City Energy Plan • Linked to ambitious policies in the LDP (and Supplementary Guidance on Energy and Climate) • Spatial framework for energy opportunities in Glasgow can be updated in light of new heat map • Integrated heat networks can be planned and initiated covering large parts of city and supported by LDP policy • A pipeline of projects can be elaborated through STEP-UP • Investment can be sought for these new opportunities • Through STEP-UP ability to do this on European scale developing new model for energy planning

Key outcomes of STEP-UP • Enhanced SEAPs in all partner cities • Innovative integrated energy projects • A model for delivering integrated SEAPs • A learning network of cities • Training programmes for professionals • A new Masters Course on Sustainable city planning and implementation
Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats For the Strategic Energy Action Plan (City Energy Plan) for Glasgow On flipcharts One person to feedback on one theme in the plenery Interactive session
Ambitions for the Glasgow SEAP On post it stickers write 5 ambitions (one on each sticker) for the ambition you have for an enhanced SEAP for Glasgow We will post these up and group them Interactive session
Sum Up • Analyse the results of today and feedback to you • Involvement from some/all of you as we develop the SEAP • Further events for stakeholders as we develop the enhanced SEAP • Keep you informed via website and newsletter at http://www.stepupsmartcities.eu/
