  1. MUNICIPAL ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAMMES MEETING OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, 7 AUGUST 2012 Linda Manyuchi Technical Specialist: Energy Efficiency

  2. Outline of Presentation The role of municipalities with respect to energy efficiency Progress with respect to implementation of municipal energy efficiency programmes Impact on municipal revenue Support to municipalities with respect to energy efficiency SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Implementation Programme

  3. The role of municipalities with respect to energy efficiency • National Energy Efficiency Strategy • Residential sector - 17.9% of demand • Transportation sector - 25.7% • Municipalities are key with respect to implementation of energy efficiency programmes • Municipalities are implementing EE programmes • Own operations • Customers • Some have specific institutional arrangements to implement EE programmes

  4. The role of municipalities with respect to energy efficiency cont. • Benefits of implementing EE programmes • Savings on overall municipal electricity bill • Savings for residents • Savings on money spent on infrastructure • Environmental protection • Energy security • Equity • Economic development

  5. Progress with respect to implementation of municipal energy efficiency programmes • Municipalities which have made good progress regarding establishing institutional arrangements • Sol Plaatje • Ethekwini • Ekhuruleni • City of Cape Town

  6. Progress with respect to implementation of municipal energy efficiency programmes cont. • Types of interventions • Urban planning and building control – e.g. COJ • Promotion of energy efficiency in new developments • Criteria for assessing energy efficiency in applications • Conditions for development to take place • Densification • Building design • SANS 204 • SWH • Street lighting • EE in municipal buildings – lighting, HVAC, energy management • EE in waste water treatment facilities – e.g. COJ

  7. Progress with respect to implementation of municipal energy efficiency programmes cont. • Type of interventions • Transportation • Improved public transport • EE in municipal fleet • High occupancy vehicle lanes • Non-motorized transport • Park and ride

  8. Impact on municipal revenue • Short to medium term: little impact • Long term: significant impact • Municipalities must factor this in • NT funding framework to cater for this, e.g. incentives for energy efficient municipalities

  9. Support to municipalities with respect to energy efficiency • Municipal funds • Conditional grant from NT • ESKOM IDM • Loans – DBSA, etc • Donor funds • PPP

  10. Support to municipalities with respect to energy efficiency cont. • Donor funds • DANIDA (funding came to an end in 2010) • British High Commission Pretoria – support to Sustainable Energy Africa • REEP – support to Sustainable Energy Africa • SDC – through SALGA • GIZ

  11. SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Implementation Programme • Agreement between SALGA and Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC): 2010 - 2013 • Other implementation partner: Department of Energy • SALGA: Facilitate implementation of the local government part of the programme • Sol Plaatje, Mbombela, King Sabatha Dalindyebo, Rustenburg, Polokwane

  12. SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Implementation Programme cont. • Activities of Programme • Developing energy efficiency strategies and implementation plans for five pilot municipalities • Institutional capacity assessments, planning and development at SALGA and the five pilot municipalities in relation to their role and mandate with respect to energy efficiency • Knowledge sharing related to implementation of energy efficiency initiatives in SALGA member municipalities • Development of communication structures related to energy efficiency between the national and local level

  13. SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Implementation Programme cont.

  14. SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency Monitoring and Implementation Programme cont. • Conduct Institutional Capacity Assessments at SALGA and Pilot municipalities • Complete State of Energy Reports • Compile Energy Efficiency Strategies and Action Plans for two municipalities • Investigate Financial Implications of implementation of Energy Efficiency in municipalities • Knowledge Sharing activities

  15. Ability to meet electricity demand is going to remain a challenge...
