CoM Forum – Energy Efficiency Finance Market Place, 20/02/2019 SVIM -Sviluppo Marche srl

Regional Development Agency owned 100% by Marche Region expert in: • supporting the implementation of regional development policies • building up a wide regional and transnational strategy to strengthen competitiveness and sustainable growth of the region • raising awareness of local communities on the relevance of climate and mitigation in all economic and social sectors SVIM -Sviluppo Marche srl

How supported Municipalities in climate and energy issues: • CoM local coordinator • Technical support at regional level • CitySEC project • Alterenergy project • Tram project… • Clusterpolicee Which challenges? CHALLENGE: SHORTAGE OF SKILLS of LOCAL AUTHORITIES

Internal Technical, administrative, financial and management personnel necessary for the design of SECAPS

to adequately undertake the requirements of the SECAPs towards the development of sustainable energy and climate communities CHALLENGE: STRENGHTING GOVERANCE LEVELS between climate & energy Networking to transfer planning at local, regional knowledge and skills and national level between public bodies

recommendations of multiple actors across different territorial scales OPPORTUNITIES:

MITIGATION AND ADAPTATION CHALLENGE 2: CAPACITY BUILDING as a solution

Skills in the design and implementation of energy and climate actions plans CHALLENGE 1: MULTILEVEL GOVERANCE STRATEGY as solution

 Targeted capacity building programmes on mitigation and adaptation contribute to raise the awareness of more than 300 local and regional policy makers, supporting them in the establishment of ambitious long- term objectives on energy and climate topics, towards 2030 and 2050 EU targets:  peer-learning activities on integrated energy, sustainable urban mobility, land use planning and innovative financing solution

 on adaptation: through shared methodologies to define climate baseline and risk and vulnerability to climate change to better orient the urban planning of municipalities, to support them to become a key player for sustainable energy and adaptation to climate change EMPOWERING RESULTS LIFE SEC ADAPT RESULTS

 Learning results from capacity building and peer-learning activities are used to build a shared vision on energy and climate issues, standardize the Strategic Innovative Planning Model and support the involved municipalities to shape 78 tailored and effective SE(C)APs. In particular:

 30 Municipalities adhering to CoM & SE(C)APS (mitigation part elaborated)  48 SEAP upgraded to 2030 objectives  17 CLIMATE plan elaborated  1 JOINT SE(C)AP elaborated EMPOWERING RESULTS

 1 JOINT SECAP elaborated involving 11 Municipalities: a result of the multilevel governance

An example of joint actions on pubblic lighting and cycling paths:  6000 light points replaced with LED lamp  Information panels  Wi-Fi cameras  Weather sensors  Charging columns for electric cars  Cycling paths of more than 10 km EMPOWERING RESULTS

 Definition of an Energy and Climate Monitoring System, a key tool to monitor the climate and energy implementation process at local level:

 open source Monitoring tool, with a wide list of energy and climate indicators applicable to different contexts. Freely downloadable, accessible to all EU municipalities, maximizing projects impact in a transnational and cross-border dimension EMPOWERING RESULTS LIFE SEC ADAPT RESULTS

 6 EU regional energy vision at 2050 shaped

 the model of an innovative financial tool for sustainable energy investment aimed to leverage the use of structural/private funds for energy efficiency delivered LIFE SEC ADAPT RESULTS

 drafting of a policy recommendation paper for common intervention for climate adaptation at macro-regional level, guaranteeing a long term sustainability of project results

Project financed with the contribution of LIFE Programme 2014-2020 EMPOWERING IMPACT

For what concern mitigation, the elaboration of SECAPs brings the following estimated impacts:

 Energy savings triggered by the project within its duration: 1550 (Primary energy savings triggered - GWh/year)

 Renewable Energy production triggered by the project within its: 191 (Renewable Energy production triggered - GWh/year)  10 new adhesions while the projets implementation Signed at the “Covenant of Mayors – Regional best practices and financing opportunities towards 2030 objectives” (held in Brussels last 7th February 2019)
