Municipal Energy Planning and Energy Efficiency

摘要: Swedish municipalities are required to produce a municipal energy plan for supply and use. Whether planning is suitable manage local systems, however, subject debate. This thesis explores development of systems after plans were adopted examine whether effective. The effectiveness studied on two levels: in terms goals implemented, contributes fulfilling national policy goals. research based three studies. In the first, scope twelve from region was assessed. second study, visions seven analysed compared systems. third case involved Kungalv municipality, where implementation its more thoroughly. Scopes perspectives: environment, efficiency level. Goals also an actor’s perspective. results show that scopes have narrow boundaries, environmental analyses presented very basic. Energy found been fairly effective fulfilment plans. Most positive developments relatively low level when authority owns issue, example district heating expansion measures public buildings. When it comes contributing goals, vary; use biomass has increased, but selfsufficiency electricity increased only slightly. most favourable energy-related emissions reduction carbon dioxide. Based shortcomings identified implementation, possibilities increase widen discussed. Improvements discussed urban as well participative planning, with respect assessment If issues included participatory approach used, this could facilitate Including wide relevant It proposed EU framework programmes (2001/42/EC) can be used since includes comprehensive approach, participation, assessment.
