The objective of this study is to outline an urban EE strategy for the next 12 years for the city of Astana, up to 2030, by assessing the energy performance of the municipal service sectors and identifying and prioritizing EE opportunities along with a sound implementation plan. The overarching objectives of the municipal EE plan are to reduce energy consumption, diminish related expenditures from the municipal budget, and improve municipal service delivery for the city residents. The plan includes a host of qualitative targets, from reducing the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions and Primary Energy Consumption (PEC), avoiding an increase in the energy bills to improving performance of local public service providers and enabling the environment to attract private investments for EE interventions. The methodology used comprises four steps, namely assessment of the energy performance, prioritization of sectors having the highest energy savings potential, and drafting and implementation of the EE plan Figure 1. Steps for preparing the EE plan ANALYSIS of energy Draft of an Outline of an Setting of performance, comprehensive EE IMPLEMENTATION PRIORITIES for EE challenges and INVESTMENT PLAN and delivery interventions potential PROGRAM mechanisms The assessment was made by benchmarking Astana against other cities with similar features (like human development index by country, climate etc.), thus allowing for a comparison of energy related key performance indicators (KPIs), and then drawing certain performance targets by sector. The team conducted interviews with the City Administration (CA) of Astana, municipal service providers and other relevant stakeholders, in addition to organizing a couple of technical workshops, to identify the sector challenges and discuss about the EE investment program and potential delivery mechanisms for the implementation of the plan.
