15-4-2014 5KO SmartReFlex

Why Covenant?• In Italy municipalities don’t have any role in

energy policies – planning, – regulation, – tariff….

• The process of SEAP definition is important to be able to define a new role in local energy policies:– economic development– sustainable energy, – safeguard to energy poverty…15-4-2014 KO SmartReFlex 6

ANCI ER strategy

• Agreed with Emilia Romagna region the adoption of Convenant as the tool to involve and committ municipalities to the energy issue

• SEAP is the beginning of a capacity building process on energy policies (i.e. bringing municipalities to be more and more active on sustainable energy actions)

15-4-2014 KO SmartReFlex 7

ANCI ER strategy

• Act at territorial level (municipal committee/council more than 40/year)

• Permanent Energy working group involving all actors of the regional territory with focussed «think tank» (around 10 WG meetings per year)

• Dissemination:– NEWSLETTER (1500 members, over 40/year)– Info days, meetings, synergies with other projects

• Education and training– Energy management for municipalities– Support to implement PPP and new financial tools

15-4-2014 KO SmartReFlex 8

District H/C

• «chaothic» legislative assett at national level• No regional sectorial plan for district H/C• Many different «case study» in Emilia Romagna

– At City, town, and village level – Managing actors: utility, cooperatives, municipality, PPP….– H/C size: few hundred kW…GW– Sources: natural gas, CHG, biomass, geothermal, – solar H/C, residual industry heating…to be investigated

WP 2 – WP 3 – WP 4(Initial brainstorming)

• Start from local level to build the regional framework (bottom up approach starting from exhisting projects)

• case to study and case study and are used to work on WP2-3-4• One single approach is not possible:

– We need to define different models for different situation• Small district biomass H/C in the Appennnines• I2I: Industry to industry symbiosis• I2C: Industry to city symbiosis• …

• Our aim is to build up processes and not working on single event, single model, …. (not what but how)

• Social acceptance at the basis of any process• Numbers come afterwards

Distribution of natural gas

15-4-2014 KO SmartReFlex 11

From 340 municipal managementTo12 large aggregation management(start today and complete in 4 years)

Our goal1. In Emilia Romagna we have one of the largest (and oldest)

natural gas grid. 2. Only few areas have no natural gas grid.3. The new 12 aggregations are responsible of the ng grid

developement.Questions to be answered (elevator talk):Where shall we build district H/C?

In area with no exhisting ng grid? In area where old grid needs to be replaced?……

Using which technical, economic, regulatory, and social evaluation models? (shared with operator, collectivity…)
