Cities have ambitious targets, not only in the power sector

Ambition tends to be:

● Higher: cities target larger shares of renewables than national counterparts

● Broader: cities also set targets in heating, cooling and transport sectors

● 250 cities worldwide have adopted some form of 100% renewables target

Target and vision setting for municipal operations and city-wide energy

Policies and actions in municipal operations Advancing renewable energy in municipal operations

● Procuring renewable energy for consumption of municipal operations

● Scaling-up renewable generation on public buildings (e.g. Solar PV, solar thermal)

● Integrating renewable energy in district energy networks and and switching municipal fleets to biofuels and EVs

● Using municipal waste and wastewater to generate biogas, biomethane

Cities leading by example, shifting to renewables in municipal operations

Beyond municipal operations Cities are using regulatory policies to advance renewable energy city-wide

● Regulators and policy-makers: creating environment for city-wide renewable in power, heating and cooling

- Building codes requiring zero-emissions

- Solar power mandates

● Facilitating renewable deployment for other actors in urban environment (businesses, citizens, communities, places of worships, urban delivery companies)

- Raising awareness about RE benefits

- Contribute to knowledge sharing and dialogue

Beyond the city Cities are champions for renewable energy at the global scale

● Champions, trend setters and advocates at the national level

- Pushing for higher ambition

- Proving the viability of renewables

● Inspiring and learning from other cities worldwide, organisation city networks

City policies can be divided into two main categories:

● Policies targeting municipality‘s operations

● City-wide energy use policies

- mandates and obligations

- fiscal and financial mechanisms

City policy to advance renewable energy in cities Cities have multiple policy options to advance renewable energy in cities

Multi-level governance

Cities need the support from national governments to realise renewable energy

● City power and authority over energy issues

- is often limited, in particular in Asia, Latin America and Middle East

- cities cannot achieve sustainability alone

● Conflicting/unsupportive national policies

- building codes, vehicle regulation

- national fossil-fuel subsidies

Cities cannot advance renewable energy transition in isolation

Street lighting

● Municipal public lighting can account for up to 40% of municipal electricity budget

● Sales in solar powered street lighting reached 3.8 million cumulatively in 2017: Almost half in Asia and the Pacific

● Energy efficiency: large potential for future savings is in developing and emerging economies

Solar-powered street lighting helps to reduce municipal energy costs

Renewable heating and cooling in cities Role: target and vision setting, for municipal operations and city-wide energy

● Stand-alone system: typically on building facades and rooftops

● District heating and cooling networks mostly in Europe, China and North America

- Biomass sources account for around 95% of RE

- Geothermal is increasing - Solar thermal: 339 large scale

systems, the majority within Europe

In Europe, 6,000 district heating systems supplied around 12% of EU heat demand

Citizen engagement key for the energy transition

● Consumer choice: choosing among suppliers and switching to green

● Prosumers: households/businesses generating renewable energy

● Community renewable energy projects: not only a rural phenomenon but have also emerged in cities

● Participatory governance is important to gain public trust

Citizens can actively shape the renewable energy infrastructure of their cities

Public support in cities is important to drive the energy transition outside city boundaries
