ENHANCEMENT OF CITY ENERGY PLANS

Strategies Towards Energy Performance In Urban Planning
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

• 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.

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

• Project Investment : € 240m approx. (£200m approx)• Examples of expenditure: £8m remediation land; £7m retrofitting post games• Housing model: 300 for private sale; 400 homes for rent (Housing Associations).
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
Interactive session
• 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
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/
