A Brief History

Community Energy Initiative (CEI)

Reducing energy consumption Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

Community Energy Initiative Update

2017

Federal and Provincial GHG targets 50% of Canada’s population have a Community Energy Plan: Guelph was the only Canadian municipality with a CEP

Updated target

Our Energy Guelph will strive toward

NET ZERO CARBON

by 2050

SLIDE 4

Community Energy Initiative Update Research and Response

Updated target

To meet this target, our updated CEI identifies ways to:

1. Take actions within our sphere of influence as a municipality & as a community
2. Develop strategic partnerships to maximize/expand that sphere of influence
3. Advocate for provincial and federal action to support our efforts

City of Guelph Energy and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Baseline Inventory, 2016; Business-As-Usual Scenario, to 2050. Input data for the report obtained from:

City of Guelph Planning Division
City of Guelph Transit and Transportation Demand

Management divisions

Guelph Hydro Electric Systems Inc.
Union Gas
The Kent Group Ltd.
Ontario Ministry of Transportation
Municipal Property Assessment Corporation

How did we arrive at the target?

SLIDE 7

Community Energy Initiative Update

Under a business-as-usual scenario,

absolute energy consumption and emissions are expected to be approximately the same in 2050 as they are today.

Anticipated gains in efficiency will be

ffset by increased consumption arising

from economic and population growth.

SLIDE 11

Community Energy Initiative Update Recommended Actions

How do we get there?

The task force ranked the criteria used to set priorities for action. 1. Technical feasibility/technology readiness 2. Best financial payback 3. Highest GHG impact 4. Upfront cost 5. Impacts the largest number of people 6. $ per GHG reduction 7. Political feasibility (public and Council acceptance) 8. Urban resilience 9. Profile (charisma/attention-grabbing)

10. Regulatory feasibility (i.e. within municipal influence)
11. Energy security
12. Personal health and safety

SLIDE 12

Community Energy Initiative Update Recommended Actions

How do we get there?

1. Retrofit homes pre-1980 2. Retrofit industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) buildings 3. Stricter codes on new build 4. Photovoltaic (PV) net metering 5. Electrify transit 6. Heat pumps 7. Retrofit homes 1980-2017 8. Large PV 9. Active transportation

10. Energy storage

The task force ranked the 20 potential actions in order of priority.

SLIDE 13

Community Energy Initiative Update Recommended Actions

How do we get there?

11. Electrify fleets (including the municipal fleet)
12. Expand transit
13. District energy
14. Solar hot water
15. Wind energy
16. Renewable natural gas
17. Electrify personal vehicles
18. Ride share programs
19. Car free zones
20. Autonomous vehicles

The task force ranked the 20 potential actions in order of priority. To meet targets, Guelph must take all 20 actions

SLIDE 14

Community Energy Initiative Update Recommended Actions

How do we get there?

1. Retrofit homes pre-1980 2. Retrofit industrial, commercial and institutional (ICI) buildings 3. Stricter codes on new build 4. Photovoltaic (PV) net metering 5. Electrify transit 6. District energy*

OEG will form sub-teams to address the following priority actions:

* District Energy (DE) was not among the top priority actions but there has been significant investment and lessons learned. It is important to make recommendations regarding if/how to proceed.

Conclusion

SLIDE 16

Community Energy Initiative Update

This updated Community Energy Initiative contains ideas and initiatives to make changes to the way we produce and consume energy. The result will be

reduced energy costs
a strong local economy
a resilient and healthy community
a more prosperous, sustainable, and equitable future

A shared sense of responsibility across government and community is needed for positive change.

Conclusion

Shared responsibility
