City Energy Efficiency Transformation Initiative :
Low Carbon Growth for Cities through Energy Efficiency
A World Bank Group approach
Anna Lerner, Energy Specialist, World Bank
Background The role of cities as engines of sustainable development is
undisputable: - 70% of the world’s energy consumption - the 100 largest cities = 67 % of total energy-related GHG emissions- 25 – 60 – 80 (land-use change and transport)
Over $1 Trillion is needed each year to finance the infrastructure gap in developing countries.
- Cities account for 70% of this gap.
LAC : the most urbanized region in the world (80%). By 2050, nearly 9 out of 10 people in LAC are expected to live in cities (UN Habitat, 2012);
Increasing urban population and energy demand will challenge energy security and reliability;
How to control energy demand? Delay the need for new power generation capacity? Reduce both fossil fuel consumption and local and global pollutants? => Urban Energy Management
Control of energy use shiftingNational governments - Municipalities - Citizens
Traditional bank clients and partners are diversifying
Total lending for EE programs exceeded US$8.6 billion over the last five years and an increasing number of Country Partnership Strategies (CPS) identify EE as an important tool to enhance green growth and improve resilience.
PLANNING– GHG inventories– Evaluate emission
reduction potential– Climate-Smart Capital
Investment Planning FINANCING– Enhance
creditworthiness for direct access to capital markets
– Pooled or Bundled funding
To help developing world’s cities plan and access financing for Low Carbon Development, the WB President launched Livable and Low Carbon Cities Initiative (LLCC)
City Energy Efficiency Transformation Initiative (CEETI) Cities as audience and actors of implementation Recognizing that city policies complement national efforts.
The ESMAP Cities Initiative will support LLCC and create a knowledge base to develop and implement EE measures.
Global south-to-south-north conference which will raise EE discussion to the highest levels of city governments (November 2013, Barcelona) and regional workshops.
Capacity building in EE opportunity assessment and financing Technical assistance to enable cities to realize their EE potential Case competition to generate innovative solutions
What is TRACE?• The ESMAP developed Tool for
Rapid Assessment of City Energy (TRACE) has been implemented in 25 cities across all regions through various partnerships.
• TRACE helps cities:- identify under-performing sectors in
energy efficiency- evaluate improvement and cost saving
potential- prioritize sectors and EE interventions - initiate an EE dialogue with cities.
The TRACE family is growing..
The way ahead..?
