1. Urban areas as Key Energy Consumers/demand drivers

Green Climate Fund: Board agrees on initial result areas and indicators Geneva, 16 Oct (Meena Raman) – The Board of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) has reached agreement over the ‘initial result areas’ of the Fund, its ‘performance indicators’ and its ‘results management framework.’…. The ‘initial result areas’ of the Fund which was agreed to by the Board are as follows: a. Design and planning of cities to support mitigation and adaptation; b. Energy efficiency of buildings and appliances; c. Energy efficiency of industrial processes; d. Low-emission transport; e. Low-emission energy access; f. etc

8 Key IEP Objectives Related Municipal Mandate or Function in terms of Constitution and legal framework

1: Ensure the security of supply 2: Minimise the cost of energy 3: Increase access to energy 4: Diversify supply sources and primary sources of energy 5: Minimise emissions from the energy sector 6: Promote energy efficiency in the economy 7. Promote localisation and technology transfer and the creation of jobs 8: Promote the conservation of water

* SALGA national Municipal sustainable energy framework; national municipal benchmarking

3. Local energy policy and work underway

3. Local energy policy and work underway

Local initiatives underway in SA cities and towns with a bearing on the national IEP

1. Energy efficiency: - SANS 204, public buildings, Eksom IDM, public lighting,

awareness campaigns

2. Renewable energy: - SWH, Rooftop PV, landfill-gas, micro hydro

3. Urban / spatial planning, mobility and transport: - Rapid Transit plans, NMT, Densification policies

4. Universal access: - Informal electrification

4. Comment on draft IEP from urban energy development perspective

Process, Introduction, 8 Key Objectives, Energy Overview: • The plan should note the role of Local

Government in relation to realisation of may of the IEP objectives

• In accordance with Section 5(2) and 6(2)(3) of the National Energy Act no. 34 of 2008, local government should be represented within the IEP intergovernmental committee

• The local energy picture should be a part of the Energy Overview

4. Comment on draft IEP from urban energy development perspective

Energy Demand Projections

• Greater analysis the GDP-energy demand growth assumption.

• Query “other manufacture” demand driver

• Propose more complex transport demand modelling

Electricity relative to Economic growth: eThekwini and Cape Town

4. Comment on draft IEP from urban energy development perspective

Energy Demand: Transport Transport is the largest demand growth driver. South African’s largest cities and towns together account for half of national consumption. The IEP needs to have a more complex analysis that takes into account:

– The role of urban form and spatial planning, as well as socio-cultural factors on mobility and related transport/liquid fuel demand

– Long term spatial, urban development and transport plans of metro and key secondary cities and towns

4. Comment on draft IEP from urban energy development perspective

Energy Demand: Residential and Built environment aspect of commerce/industry

• Residential sector: patterns of consumption needs to be understood and included in the Plan.

• Universal access: the plan should explicitly address municipal electricity distribution capacity (grid, human resources), electrification and social grants.

• Built environment: the impact of new regulations, notably SANS 204, Eskom’s IDM Programme and urban energy implementation underway, should be incorporated into demand projections off BAU.

4. Key proposals to IEP

1. Include local government in inter governmental stakeholder committee

2. Urban/municipal ENERGY USE component of national energy demand to be better understood and seriously factored into demand forecasts.

3. “demand optimisation” test case be considered.

4. Energy access and related issues MORE visible

5. Implementation role of cities to be explicitly considered. It is important to note that cities as key implementers supports diversity of approaches – diversity NB in a fast changing environment…(the 2003 IEP: “Wind energy is at

least 300% more expensive than new coal fired plant”)
