  • Municipal Energy Planning and Energy Efficiency
    Municipal Energy Planning and Energy Efficiency Jenny Nilsson, Linköping University Anders Mårtensson, Linköping University ABSTRACT Swedish law requires local authorities to have a municipal energy plan. Each municipal government is required to prepare and maintain a plan for the supply, distribution, and use of energy. Whether the municipal energy plans have contributed to or preferably controlled the development of local energy systems is unclear. In the research project “Strategic Environmental Assessment of Local Energy Systems,” financed by the Swedish National Energy Administration, the municipal energy plan as a tool for controlling energy use and the efficiency of the local energy system is studied. In an introductory study, twelve municipal energy plans for the county of Östergötland in southern Sweden have been analyzed. This paper presents and discusses results and conclusions regarding municipal strategies for energy efficiency based on the introductory study. Introduction Energy Efficiency and Swedish Municipalities Opportunities for improving the efficiency of Swedish energy systems have been emphasized in several reports such as a recent study made for the Swedish government (SOU 2001). Although work for effective energy use has been carried out in Sweden for 30 years, the calculated remaining potential for energy savings is still high. However, there have been changes in the energy system. For example, industry has slightly increased the total energy use, but their use of oil has been reduced by two-thirds since 1970. Meanwhile, the production in the industry has increased by almost 50%. This means that energy efficiency in the industry is much higher today than in the 1970s (Table 1).

Ports enable the carriage of goods by sea, thus they are subject changes triggered by many factors: changes in the socio-economic structures of the regions they serve, changes in legislation, changes due to environmental issues and so on. Adapting to changes requires a proactive and collaborative attitude from the whole port community. Ports need to be aware of the factors that cause change but they can also affect their own future by creating demand, establishing new relations and by attracting shipowners.

  • A Study of 11 Large Municipalities in Sweden
    Sustainable mobility in the Sustainable City – a study of 11 large municipalities in Sweden Final Report. Project 15-549 Author: Paul Fenton Division of Environmental Technology & Management, Linköping University, 58183 Linköping, Sweden. Tel: +46 13 285620, Fax: +46 13 281101, Email: [email protected] Summary The report presents findings from a qualitative study of strategy and policy processes for sustainable mobility and sustainable transport in eleven large municipalities in Sweden. The findings are presented thematically and with reference to interviews in each of the municipalities. The main conclusions of the report are that organisational design and the extent to which external stakeholders are involved in municipal processes are important influences on outcomes; political will and the presence of committed individuals is vitally important; and that municipalities are hamstrung by ineffective national planning processes. Acknowledgements The author wishes to thank the funders of both phases of the project for their interest and support – for Phase I, Riksbyggens Jubileumsfond Den Goda Staden; the Swedish national innovation agency Vinnova through its programme “Verifiering för samverkan”; Göteborg Energis Stiftelse för forskning och utveckling; and for Phase II, J. Gust. Richerts stiftelse; and ÅForsk. In addition, thank you to the many individuals who have contributed directly or indirectly to this study, including Agnes Rönnblom, Prosper Chipato, Tanaka Mukoko, Jenny Ohlsson Orell, Karolin Ring, and Tove Nordberg.
