Energy Planning in Europe
The first generation of local energy plans:
• The situation after the second oil crisis in the late seventies
were characterized by expensive energy and risk of supply
shortages
• On this background local energy plans were developed in
order to assure secure and low-cost energy supply and
distribution
3

Energy Planning in Europe
The first generation of local energy plans:
• The energy plans primarily focused on the supply side, e.g.
on the expansion of natural gas and district heating systems
• The demand side was not integrated in the planning
process
• Independently produced demand forecasts
were used as mere input to the supply
side planning
4
ManagEnergy Workshop in Riga, 28 January 2011
Energy Planning in Europe
The second generation of local energy plans:
• A new generation of energy plans, characterized by the
principles of climate protection and sustainable
development, have emerged
• They focus on the demand side in order to encourage
energy saving and the replacement of imported energy by
local and renewable energy sources
• Main Drivers for the changed focus:
– Increased focus on and awareness of
environmental problems
– Supply Security in EU in general

Energy Planning in Europe
The second generation of local energy plans:
• All over Europe cities - where more than 75% of the energy
is consumed - have become the most active players for
specific actions to improve environmental conditions and to
combat the threatening climate change.
• International city-networks have been established, which
aim at a substantial reduction of CO2 emissions, the
improvement of energy efficiency and the
increased use of renewable energies.

ManagEnergy Workshop in Riga, 28 January 2011
Energy Planning in Europe
• Adoption of appropriate energy planning practice in regions and
cities is an essential factor in order for EU to live up to its energy
and climate goals
• Energy planning practice has gone from being supply oriented to
high focus on end-use measures and renewable energy
• EU support this development and Covenant of Mayors is a key
initiative to activate cities to put in place local sustainable energy
action plans and related measures/investments.

What cities can do The SEC Tools Project
SEC-Tools was a project supported by the Intelligent Energy
Europe running 2006-09
Overall objective:
• Encourage the adoption of SEC visions in communities
Specific objectives:
– To develop a Toolbox with approaches, methods and tools for
obtaining Sustainable Energy Communities (SEC) in the European
Union with special emphasis on the New Member States (NMS)
– Focus on small communities (3,000-30,000 inhabitants)
– To ensure community access to profound materials and tools that will
facilitate an SEC vision at community level

Covenant of Mayors
What is the Covenant of Mayors?
- A European initative for mobilising
cities for energy and climate action
► The Covenant of Mayors is a formal commitment to go
beyond the EU 202020 objectives in terms of reducing
CO2 emissions.
► The EU Energy for a Changing World package, adopted in
2007,commits the EU to reduce CO2 emissions by 20% by
2020, as a result of:
►a 20% increase in energy efficiency, and
To be achieved
►a 20% share of renewable energy in the
before 2020
supply mix .
ManagEnergy Workshop in Riga, 28 January 2011
What is expected from a CoM city
► Signing the Covenant commits the signatory to :
► Prepare a baseline emissions inventory
► Submit a Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP)
► Submit an implementation report every 2 years after that
► Attend the annual Covenant of Mayors conference
► Share experience with other areas
► Promote the Covenant
ManagEnergy Workshop in Riga, 28 January 2011
Who can join the Covenant of Mayors?
The covenant is aimed primarily at Cities, because:
► Over half of greenhouse gases are created in and by cities
► 80% of the population lives and works in cities
► Up to 80% of energy is consumed in cities
In practice, to sign the Covenant you need to be the leader of
a local authority or municipality: this may be an urban or rural
authority, and of any size. ALL ARE WELCOME!
ManagEnergy Workshop in Riga, 28 January 2011
Why join the Covenant of Mayors?
► Make a public statement of commitment to carbon reduction
► Make your territory known as a pioneer
► Create or reinforce carbon reduction dynamic in your territory
► Benefit from encouragement and example of other pioneers
► Share expertise developed in your own territory with others
► Publicise your achievements

What regions can do The ENNEREG Project
ENNEREG is a project supported by the
Intelligent Energy Europe running 1 May
2009 - 1 May 2013
Overall objective:
• Develop sustainable energy action
plans for European 12 regions in
conjunction with implementation of
specific sustainable energy measures
27
ManagEnergy Workshop in Riga, 28 January 2011
Intervention in Partner Regions
ENNEREG Regions:
Starting point
• Existing regional goals & action plans
ENNEREG Intervention
• EU, national and local energy programmes
• Helping to fine-tune the region’s
goals and actions & engaging
stakeholders
• Fostering investments and enduse measures via targeted
assistance
• Ongoing activities in the region’s
communities
• Existing competences & experiences
• Stakeholders in both public and private
sector
• Etc.
Thematic Focus: e.g. energy efficient buildings, renewable energy,
sustainable transport, IE education, etc.
ManagEnergy Workshop in Riga, 28 January 2011
ENNEREG: Three Levels of Activity
Action in ENNEREG regions
•
•
•
•
Regional vision and goal setting and stakeholder involvement
Formulating action plan both short- and long-term
Fostering specific investments and end-use measures
Extracting good practice and lessons learnt for other regions
Replication
• Guidance on sustainable energy practice at the regional level based on the
experience from the ENNEREG regions
• Direct assistance on how other regions can take up the challenge in the form of a
hands on twinning programme
EU Regions 202020
• Enabling environment for implementation in EU Regions
• Joining stakeholders at broad European level

Members Experience
Exchange
ManagEnergy Workshop in Riga, 28 January 2011
Replication of results
Sharing experiences
• Ensure that the experience obtained in the course of
the ENNEREG action is passed on to other regions in a
‘hands on’ manner.
• Twinning arrangements between partners of ENNEREG
and regions outside the consortium in order to replicate
the action’s most promising approaches and concepts.
• Involvement via meetings and workshops with
ENNERREG and other European energy networks.
31
ManagEnergy Workshop in Riga, 28 January 2011
Giving Guidance & Assistance
Replication
• Giving guidance on sustainable energy practice at regional level based
on the experience from the activities in the ENNEREG
• Direct assistance on how to take up the low carbon challenge in the
form of a ’hands on’ twinning programme.
Added value for Replication Regions
• First-hand experience with CIP IEE programme together with
experienced consortium without committing directly to a three-year
project
• 12 regions will be chosen for twinning activity and ”get free” input to
THEIR regional challenges on implementing sustainable energy plans.
• During the life-time of the project the ERRIN ECCWG will be invited to
give input, share experience, knowledge, participate in meetings etc,
familiarize themselves with other European Energy Networks in
Brussels (eg. Fedarene, Energie-Cités, Climate Change Alliance, EREC).

platform launched in 2005 by the European Commission offering
visibility and institutional recognition to sustainable energy actors,
projects and events.
Extended to 2011, Sustainable Energy Europe aims to:
• Stimulate the necessary changes towards an increase
in private investment in sustainable energy technologies
• Spread best-practice and ensure a strong level
of public awareness, understanding and support
• Enhance a communication and networking
platform among key stakeholders
in sustainable energy

Summary and prospects for Latvia
 Energy planning can be a tool for Latvian regions and cities to
improve the environment and lowering energy costs
 A key EU initiative concerns Covenant of Mayors/CoM where so
far five cities in Latvia are signatories
 Via CoM and related EU projects there are number of tools
available that can help on how to manage the implementation
process
