Abstract

European energy policies based on energy savings and the promotion of renewables are still the main components of the most recent and ambitious climate policies. However, a distinctive key element of the current approaches is that the objectives they pursue cannot be achieved without decisive intervention by sub-state political and administrative levels, particularly the local ones. The most recent European energy and climate regulations are insistently referring specific actions to the achievement of the set goals that inescapably have to be pursued at the local level—for example, Heating and cooling energy districts or the design of infrastructures that must withstand the distributed generation or the utilization of residual heat.

Europe 2020 Strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive development, COM (2010) 2020, 3 March 2010.

In the Roadmap for Energy 2050 [COM (2011) 885, p. 3], the Commission explained the ambition of its strategy, namely that “a new investment cycle will be opened in that decade (2020), while energy infrastructures built 30 or 40 years ago will need to be renewed”. The costs of the energy transition do not differ substantially from these renovation costs. According to the European Investment Plan [COM (2014) 903], investment in generation, networks and energy efficiency is estimated at EUR 200 billion annually in the coming decades.

The Directorate General of Regional Policy of the European Commission was renamed as “Regional and Urban Policy”; The Riga Declaration (2015) reinforces the role of small and medium-sized urban areas in the implementation of European policies, setting up the foundations for a future (June 2016) European Urban Agenda.

COM2014/490, p. 7.

URBACT is an instrument of Cohesion Policy co-financed by the ERDF. In its previous two editions, it has brought together 500 cities from 29 countries integrated in 61 thematic networks of cooperation. URBACT III (2014–2020) continues and intensifies cooperation on sustainable and integrated urban development. The URBACT Secretariat is in France. http://urbact.eu.

COM (2004) 60, on the Urban Environment Strategy, Sect. 2.4, p. 25.

Description from the ICLEI Strategic Plan 2015–2021, Seoul Plan, p. 3. 4.

COM (2011) 202, Smart Grids: from innovation to implementation, where is defined, following the Smart Grid Task Force as “electricity networks that can efficiently integrate the behaviour and actions of all users connected to it—generators, consumers and those that do both—in order to ensure an economically efficient, sustainable power system with low losses and high quality and security of supply and safety”, p. 2.

The ERDF manages 183.3 million euros out of a total of 376,000 for the period 2014–2020.

Regulation (EC) No 1301/2013 of 17 December 2013 on the European Regional Development Fund and on specific provisions relating to the investment objective for growth and employment, Article 7.

Article 7, parr. 5. The managing authority shall determine, in consultation with the urban authority, the scope of tasks, to be undertaken by urban authorities, concerning the management of integrated actions for sustainable urban development. The managing authority shall formally record its decision in writing. The managing authority may retain the right to undertake a final verification of eligibility of operations before approval.

Article 36 of Regulation 1303/2013 of 17 December 2013 laying down common provisions on the European Regional Development Fund, the European Social Fund, the Cohesion Fund, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development And the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. These are urban development strategies or another territorial strategy involving investments by the ESF, the ERDF or the Cohesion Fund according to more than one priority axis of one or more operational programs.

The UDN complements the actions of URBACT III, converging on support for cities implementing Article 7 (sustainable urban development). Recital (21) of the Regulation 1301/2013 states: “In order to reinforce capacity-building, networking and exchange of experience between programmes and bodies responsible for implementing sustainable urban development strategies and innovative actions in the area of sustainable urban development and to complement existing programmes and bodies, it is necessary to establish an urban development network at Union level”.

Resolution of 4 February 2016 on the role of local and regional authorities in the European Structural and Investment Funds.

Adopted on 30 May 2016 in Amsterdam at the informal meeting of Ministers responsible for urban affairs. Pending confirmation by the General Affairs Council of June 2016. http://urbanagendaforthe.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Pact-of-Amsterdam_v7_WEB.pdf.

It replaces the previous Directive 2010/31 on energy performance of buildings and Directive 2006/32/EC on energy end-use efficiency. A description of this process of normative renewal can be found in Galera, S. “Del Ahorro de Energía a la Eficiencia Energética: objetivos e instrumentos de las Políticas Europeas”, Revista de Derecho Urbanístico y Medio Ambiente no 288, Marzo 2014.

Article 2, g/.

3. Member States shall recommend to all actors, in particular local and regional administrative bodies to ensure equipment and systems are installed for the use of electricity, heating and cooling from renewable energy sources and for district heating and cooling when planning, designing, building and renovating industrial or residential areas. Member States shall, in particular, encourage local and regional administrative bodies to include heating and cooling from renewable energy sources in the planning of city infrastructure, where appropriate.

COM (2011) 885, p. 2 and 6.

See, for example, the NOBEL GRID project (supported by Horizon 2020), which aims to develop technologies and services required by distributed generation, energy cooperatives and small-scale distribution. The results of the research will be tested in five different EU electricity cooperatives http://nobelgrid.eu/.

Relating measures—technical, legal, institutional and economic—which according the Commission are required for the effective deployment of the Smart Grids, see COM (2011) 202, p. 5.

At the global level, see the United Nations Environment Program initiative—UNEP—Energy Districts in Cities, Sustainable Energy for All SE4ALL (http://www.se4all.org/). This initiative is coordinated by UNEP and involves municipal governments, local government networks, national representatives, international organizations, private sector entities, and clean energy associations.
