Strategic energy planning is an important tool in the work of the municipalities to transition to a more flexible energy system with less energy use and more renewable energy.
As a starting point mapping of the current circumstances, potential of energy savings, and potential for use of local energy resources is used.
Through several projects, Ea Energy Analyses has dealt with district heating supply and its close connection to the electricity system, both as a part of broad scenario analyses, and in concrete municipal heat planning. Related to this, Ea Energy Analyses has analysed various options for individual heat supply and estimated the competitive conditions for district heating supply.
With expertise in energy systems and energy efficiency, Ea Energy Analyses has worked with municipal climate planning on several levels.
Ea Energy Analyses has supported several municipalities in their participation in the DK2020 project. Here, municipalities commit to develop climate action plans to meet the targets in the Paris Agreement, including having net zero carbon emissions in the municipality as a geographical area by 2050.
In the project, the municipalities work with the same standard for climate planning as is being used by the international cities network C40, ‘The Climate Action Planning Framework’ (CAPF), and further develop it for use in smaller cities and municipalities. The project is supported by Realdania, and the project partners are C40, Concito, KL, and the five regions.
Ea Energy Analyses contributes to the development of the climate action plans of the municipalities by setting up scenarios; typically a baseline scenario, scenarios with national actions, and scenarios with local actions. In addition, the most important local focus areas for bringing down the emissions in the municipality are identified.
