Green Paper Consultation Results: Information & Awareness
SSL Green Paper - Next Steps Time for Actions! Lead markets Task Force on SSL for Cities Standardisation Policy/Regulation Research & Innovation (FP7 and beyond) Enhancing cooperation within the lighting sector and building extended value chains for intelligent lighting solutions
Task Force on Solid State Lighting for European Cities - Proposed in the Green Paper - Constituted by European cities / municipal authorities, lighting industry, grid operators, financing bodies, energy agencies - Short-term mandate: to propose a roadmap & an implementation plan for the creation of an SSL leading market in European cities - timeline for delivery: end 2012 (*) leading market = a market where an internationally successful innovation is first taken up on a wider scale
Lighting in Smart Cities ICT for the environment: 20-20-20 targets for 2020 Intelligent SSL systems: up to 70% of energy savings Cities megacities Increasing share (>70%) of global energy consumption Lighting: ~50% of the electricity consumption of European cities (street lighting: up to 38% of total electricity costs) >90 million traditional street lights in Europe; 75% of existing lighting installations older than 25 years
EU 2020 Issues for Municipal Lighting Economics High upfront investment cost The business case Long term investment (risks) & Financing Technology LED Quality (Lack of) Available Technology Rapid Technology evolution Other Issues Awareness & Training the procurers Procurement procedures
Task Force on SSL for Cities Set up in March 2012 Cities contributing so far: Birmingham, Budapest, Eindhoven, Firenze, Genoa, Gent, London, Malaga, Stuttgart, Tallinn, Tilburg Financial organisations: EIB, KfW Other organisations: Berlin Energy Agency, Swedish Energy Agency, Eandis, LUCI is participating as observer 2nd meeting on 18 June
Issues addressed by the Task Force Business Cases When / where to deploy LED-based solutions? Examples of TCO? ROI? Sharing information / best practice? Procurement specifications & skills development What are good procurement practices? How to best link PP and (local - EU) innovation? Sharing knowledge & experiences on PP & testing data? Financing Models Which financing schemes and which assets/drawbacks per scheme Cities and the EIB? Lighting the future in Smart Cities Which vision for European cities in 2020 for smart lighting systems and how to best prepare for it? Social Acceptance How to best involve the citizens in planning of urban lighting?
How you can contribute to the Task Force All European cities are welcome to contribute to the Task Force Share the PLUS experience with the Task Force Hand in your questions and issues your city is facing in relation to LED lighting deployment or the planning thereof (technical, organisational, financial, ) Share best practice examples for LED lighting deployment if available in your city / municipality Express your needs for sharing information and best practice on implementing LED lighting projects (incl. procurement)
Where can European Cities cooperate? Sharing of Information on Public procurement (PP) practices (eg. using LCC) PP and innovation practices LED products and luminaires; tools, testing procedures & data Social acceptance practices Evolution towards becoming Smart Cities Intelligent lighting and PV; Networked lighting & its integration with other networked systems (e.g. energy); Lighting for communication Preparing for EU s Smart Cities Initiative European approach Joining forces for PP of SSL tendering criteria, LCC approach, joint Calls for Tender, etc.? Training the procurers? EU prize Lighting city?
Smart Cities & Communities Initiative General Objective: Accelerate development and deployment of integrated energy, transport and ICT solutions at local level to serve EU climate/energy targets Ultimate aim: Transform a number of European cities How: - provide funding for selected large-scale demonstration projects - prepare for scale-up through focused horizontal activities (capturing lessons learned, identifying needs for regulation & standards, harmonising approaches to data collection, formatting and measurement, etc.) Timing: From 2014; plan to announce in the form of a Communication in July 2012
Smart Cities & Communities Initiative what s new? Seeks to break down silos between the energy, transport and ICT sectors Focus on innovation through integration of technologies/ business models rather than research into new technologies A coordinated call for proposals (across energy, transport and ICT programmes in FP7) to be launched in July 2012 in order to prepare the communities for a full-scale initiative after 2014 Although the overall goal is to serve EU climate/energy targets, expect progress elsewhere, e.g., interoperability of service infrastructures, open data, harmonized metrics, etc.
How might a Smart Cities project look like? strong industry consortium: technology partners and key service providers from the energy, transport & ICT sectors together with cities demonstration of integrated novel technologies in at least two large cities commitment to open standards that prevent lock-in and foster competition evidence of scale-up and replication potential within the city and in other cities, solutions should be transferable and deliver EU added value
Smart Cities & Communities - financing Research and innovation programme: FP7 and Horizon 2020 - co-financing (grants allocated to innovation actions of proposed projects) More commercially based actions can benefit from other instruments: - - technical assistance (e.g. ELENA model) - - Risk-Sharing Financial Facility - - European Energy Efficiency Fund (EEE-F) - - other EU funds (e.g.: European Regional Development Fund, Cohesion Fund)
EU initiatives on Lighting and beyond Research and Innovation FP7 & CIP (2007-2013) Horizon 2020 (2014-2020) Cohesion funds New Common Strategic Framework (2014-2020) Other Initiatives & Instruments ELENA, EEF-F instruments Key Enabling Technologies Green Digital Charter Smart cities
FP7 ICT Work Programme 2013 ICT Objective 3.2 Photonics Actions fostering innovation in SSL Cooperation of actors along the value chain to promote innovative design and new business models through open innovation Cooperation of lighting industry and end users ICT Call 11 DDL: 16 APR 13 Coordination & Support Actions 7 M Analyse effects of SSL in applications where there are benefits for people's health and well-being Address scarcity of materials, use of hazardous materials and recyclability & disposability of SSL products SSL Green Paper COM(2011)889
You are welcome to Contribute to Task Force on SSL for Cities between now and October 2012 Discuss ideas for Smart Cities projects integrating intelligent LED lighting /infrastructure as a core element Discuss ideas for SSL innovation support actions involving cities as end users under FP7 ICT Call 11 Photonics Objective
