1. How our energy system is changing
2. Meeting the challenges and opportunities
3. The Green Deal Smart Energy Cities
4. What happens next?

3. 2013 Dutch Energy Agreement:
What it means – goals
 Signed by 47 parties across industries, utilities, NGO’s and
governments
 Main goals of the Energy Agreement:
 1.5% Annual energy saving, reduction of 100 PetaJoules*) by 2020
 Renewable energy sources from 4% share in 2012 to 14% by 2020
and 16% in 2023
 Addition of 15.000 full-time jobs in energy business by 2020
 Goals beyond our reach (!) according to PBL, ECN and RVO
as stated in report: Nationale Energieverkenning 2014 (NEV)
*) About the same annual electricity & gas usage as 1,5 million households

4. 2013 Dutch Energy Agreement:
What it means – actions
 Top Sector Energy asked for support in putting
the agreement into practice
 Actions involve the energy infrastructure
 But no actions (yet) to address changes
needed in our energy market mechanisms!
 Green Deal Smart Energy Cities contributes to
additional energy savings and renewables

5. How our energy supply is organised
Today: centralised & separate

6. 6
How energy supply will be organised
In future: towards glocalisation

7. Why do we need to change?
 Growing share of wind and solar  large variations in
power output  big investments in energy infrastructure
 Alternatively: new business models, change “end-users”
into consumers and prosumers, from commodity to
services
 Challenge: Public not really interested in their energy
footprint – yet
 Lack of incentives to efficiently use local energy systems
 An example from Liander in Arnhem: extra investment in
the grid would cost €5.900 per household

8. Opportunity: electrification will ease
integration of three key sectors

Transportation Local energy Smart devices
Smart home
appliances &
innovative services
Smart combination of
local heating &
electricity production
Electric vehicles

9. The path to “Glocal”

Smart Energy Cities

13. Goals for Green Deal Smart Energy Cities
 In 5 Dutch cities, we’ll realise low carbon smart energy solutions
in districts with 100,000 residential and commercial buildings.
 We believe companies will welcome this large scale approach.
 Expect additional investments in innovative technologies and
services: implementation between 2015 - 2019.
 Approach is customer centric, focussed on energy consumers,
owners & energy managers of residential & other buildings.
 Innovations need to be developed from a system integration
perspective: All components should function as part of a system.

14. Members of Public-Private Partnership
 Leading Cities of Amsterdam, Arnhem, Eindhoven, Enschede, and
Groningen
 Dutch Innovation Consortia: Switch2SmartGrids, EnerGO, Solar
Energy, Gas, CLICK NL (creative industry)
 Dutch Grid Operators Association
 Ministry of Economic Affairs

15. Results of Phase 2 (draft)
 Inventory of 60+ projects with 30,000 buildings in 5 cities,
2-3 projects per city selected to be spearhead in 2015
 Innovative city-oriented solutions, e.g. ‘supermarket of
energy efficient applications’, Energy Atlas, innovative
purchase procedures for district renovation projects
 Innovations that are close to market within TKI’s/Dutch Grid
Operators projects have been identified
 Good understanding of mutual needs and strengths
 Empowering smart energy citizens will be key!

16. Next Steps: Phase 3 (draft, 1/2)
 Cities will actively scout for new locations, and act as door-opener
for building or sub-location owners within the city
 Innovation consortia will encourage companies in the
marketing of their innovations. Also develop new
innovations for use by citizens and other stakeholders
 Grid operators will provide support to cities and give help
designing the energy infrastructure in both innovative and
effective ways

17. Next Steps: Phase 3 (draft, 2/2)
 Green Deal consortium will offer liaison officers to upgrade
city projects. They are the link between companies with
‘market ready’ innovations and local stakeholders
 Best practices to be expanded to other cities

18. Call to Create Energy in 2015
 Looking for project designs seen from the “customer’s perspective”
 System orientation, e.g. multiple types of customers, groups of
buildings, different building types
 Solutions to be scalable, repeatable and commercially attractive
