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 % of demand
Transportation sector %
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. Types of interventions
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

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
