From energy planning to project development and implementation Intelligent Energy Europe and Horizon 2020 programmes Antonio Aguilo Intelligent Energy Europe and H2020 programmes, Project Officer antonio.aguilo-rullan@ec.europa.eu Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME) Unit B1 - H2020 Energy Workshop on 'Needs and opportunities for international collaboration on urban energy systems planning', International Energy Agency, 28-29 October, Paris
About EASME Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises From 01 January 2014, EASME replaces EACI (Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation) The Executive Agency has been set-up by the European Commission to manage EU programmes under Commission control and responsibility Legacy of the Intelligent Energy Europe programme II (2007-2013) parts of Horizon 2020 including parts of the Energy Challenge (2014-2020) EASME: http://ec.europa.eu/easme/ 2
Overview of H2020 Horizon 2020 is the new EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Its Energy Challenge (http://bit.ly/1gzijni) and Transport Challenge (http://bit.ly/1hhg6fe) includes activities that build on the experience of: previous Intelligent Energy Europe Programme (http://bit.ly/1awgygw) in building the capacity in regional and local authorities in developing and implementing sustainable energy and urban mobility plans other EC programmes supporting the demonstration of innovative concepts for the integration of existing and near to the market technologies and the development of tools and approaches for urban energy planning Similar activities are being supported under H2020 via Call for Proposals 3
Support to regional/local authorities SEP in the IEE programme Support to the Covenant of Mayors office, total of 6,221 signatories Concrete projects selected on the basis of Call for Proposals 33 projects under IEE 2 reaching over 1,000 communities 800 Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAP) developed 275 Covenant Coordinators & Supporters established 1240 new Covenant signatories triggered 500 sustainable energy measures implemented Capacity building and networking events are supported via Managenergy to local and energy actors www.managenergy.net 4
Common issues affecting SEP Know-how at the regional and local administrations needs to be re-strengthened In many occasions, moving from plans to project realisation does not happen - project identification and financing 5
Support: from planning to implementation IEE and H2020 programmes Energy planning e.g. evidence base, policy development and implementation Concrete studies, e.g. pre-feasibility stage on priority areas Project development, Detailed design & financing Implementation Procurement Investments launched H2020 supports activities from energy planning to implementation (Call for proposals) 6
CASCADE (2011-2014) Design and deliver large-scale networking opportunities and mutual learning activities for local energy leadership coordinated by EUROCITIES 18 cities involved in the consortium 3 experts partners in the 3 themes addressed: Renewable energy and distributed energy generation Energy in urban transport Energy efficient buildings and districts http://www.cascadecities.eu Project CO: EUROCITIES, EU 7
CASCADE (2011-2014) Improved transnational cooperation Creation of a network of 76 European cities Acceleration and improvement in the delivery of sustainable energy policies Increased capacity, knowledge and skills of staff from local authorities Slide adapted from the results from CASCADE project 8
CASCADE (2011-2014) Key factors of a good sustainable energy and climate mitigation policy are: a) ambition and leadership, b) well defined long term strategies combined with detailed short-term action plans c) strong cross-cutting managerial structures and wellestablished monitoring strategies d) active involvement of stakeholders and citizens in both, the development and implementation of the city s energy vision e) awareness raising, capacity building and provision of energy information and advice and f) good financial planning and mixing of financial instruments and resources. Slide adapted from the results from CASCADE project 9
