Progress with respect to
implementation of municipal energy
efficiency programmes
 Climate Change and Energy Efficiency activities in
municipalities catalyzed by work of Sustainable Energy
Africa
 City Energy Support Unit
 Funding through Danida UEMP, BHC
 Most Metros have initiated Climate Change and Energy
Efficiency Programmes since around 2003/2004
 Successful programmes underpinned by Energy
Baseline (State of Energy Report) and Strategy
 Incorporation into Integrated Development Plan (IDP)
with staff and budget

Progress with respect to implementation
of municipal energy
efficiency programmes
 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

Progress with respect to implementation
of municipal energy
efficiency programmes cont.
 Types of interventions
• Street lighting
• EE in municipal buildings – lighting, HVAC, energy management
• Water services
 Improvements in EE in water reticulation
 Renewable energy/EE in waste water treatment facilities –
e.g. COJ electricity from sewage sludge

Progress with respect to implementation
of municipal energy
efficiency programmes cont.
 Municipalities which have made good progress regarding
establishing institutional arrangements to implement EE
programmes
– Sol Plaatje
– Ethekwini
– Ekhuruleni
– City of Cape Town
 In many municipalities, staff conduct EE activities in
addition to their usual day-to-day activities

SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency
Monitoring and Implementation
Programme
• Agreement between SALGA and Swiss Agency for
Development and Cooperation (SDC): 2011 - 2014
• Other implementation partner: Department of Energy
• SALGA: Facilitate implementation of the local
government part of the programme
• Sol Plaatje, Mbombela, King Sabatha Dalindyebo,
Rustenburg, Polokwane

SALGA / SDC Energy Efficiency
Monitoring and Implementation
Programme cont.
• Activities of Programme
– Developing energy efficiency strategies and implementation plans
for five pilot municipalities
– Institutional capacity assessments, planning and development at
SALGA and the five pilot municipalities in relation to their role and
mandate with respect to energy efficiency
– Knowledge sharing related to implementation of energy efficiency
initiatives in SALGA member municipalities
– Development of communication structures related to energy
efficiency between the national and local level

Support to municipalities with
respect to energy efficiency
 Municipal funds
 Conditional grant from National Treasury (DORA
EEDSM grant)
 ESKOM IDM
 Loans – DBSA, etc
 Donor funds
 PPP

Support to municipalities with
respect to energy efficiency cont.
 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
 ICLEI Urban-Low Emission Development Strategies

Challenges
 Sustainable funding
− EE not seen as core service delivery
 DORA EEDSM grant
– Lack of clarity regarding allocation of grants
 Impact on municipal revenue
– Short to medium term: little impact
– Long term: significant impact
– Municipalities must factor this in budgetary processes
 Some municipalities already feeling impact of reduced consumption
– NT funding framework to cater for this, e.g. incentives for energy
efficient municipalities

Recommendations
 Long term programme to support municipalities with
respect to implementing EE interventions
 Clarity from National Government
− DORA EEDSM grant
– SWH Programme
 Benchmarking programme regarding energy efficiency in
municipalities
