1. Local Agenda 21 in territorial planning in energy and waste management Torino, 28th – 31st of January

2. Seminar plan • Introduction on competences of the Province about energy • Energy balance of the Province– Silvio De Nigris • Energy production plants in the Province of Turin– Alberto Cucatto • Break • Thermal plants and energy upgrading – Raul Richiardone • Promotion projects on renewable resources and energy efficiency –Giovanni Vicentini e Barbara Martignoni

3. Energy competences • Planning and promotion of energy policies: • Drafting of Report on the production and consumption of energy • Projects management to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency to municipalities and citizens • Authorization of the production facilities of electricity, opinions VIA and IPPC procedures, light pollution. • Energy performance monitoring and the proper operation and maintenance of heating systems for the air-conditioned building. • Controls on the energy performance of thermal plants • Training on the management and maintenance of heating systems

4. The TorinoProvince is an aggregation of 315 Municipalities • 244 of them have less than 5.000 inhabitants • The population is about 2.200.000 inhabitants, 900.000 of which in the City of Turin • The Added Value is about 55.000 M€, which is mostly produced by service sector (71%), with industry loosing importance (10 years ago industry was 5 points higher) • It’s the head office of the main Italian car factory (FIAT) Added Value

5. Energy flow- scheme Year: 2011

6. Total energy consumptions In 2011 total energy consumptions ammounted up to 5 Mtoe. The actual trend is decreasing and if we do not consider the ammount of energy not related to domestic consumptions (i.e. export of electricity) total consumptions dopped below 5 Mtoe, the lowest value ever recorded.

7. Natural gas consumptions Natural gas consumptions were, in 2011, a little bit over 4 billion of cubic meter. It is the lowest value since 2004. What is decreasing in the natural gas demand in industry sector, which dropped more than 40% in comparison to the end of Nineties.

8. Oil products consumptions Oil products consumptions were slightly over 1,2 Mtoe, the lowest value ever. The decrease started years ago and has been very important both in buildings (-64%) and in transport (-15%).

9. Renewable energy sources In 2011 the consumption of renewable energy sources have been as high as in 2009. The increasing yearly rate is around 4,5% with important differences among sources and kind of energy. What is mainly increasing in the last few years is the energy available for final users. This is the part of energy which is to be considered as the most important and which is taken into account for EU targets.

10. Renewable energy sources in final uses In 2011, the share of final energy demand covered by renewable energy was 10,4%. In the last ten years such rate increased by 3 points, still too less to meet EU targets fixed at 2020.

11. Electricity generation In 2011 more than 12,3 TWh of electricity have been generated in the province of Torino, a little bit less tha the average value of the last five years. More than 80,2% of electricity come from thermoeletric power plant with CHP increasing very much. 18,5% comes fro hydropower and 1,3% from solar energy.

12. Electricity production and consumptions The production of electricity overcome the domestic demand of electricity. This situation is living since 2005, when big CHP plants enterd into force in the surroundings of the City of Torino. The electricity surplus was in 2011 equal to 1,6 TWh (approximally the electricity demand of 1 Million of people).

13. Green electricity The production of electricity coming from renewables is up to 20% of total production, while the share of internal electricity demand coverd by such sources was up to 23%. The value related to 2010 is particullary important because we had a EU target of at least 21% to be reached.

14. Final use of energy The final energy demand in 2011 was sligthly over 4,2 Mtoe. A decrease by 16% took place from the top-peak consumption recorded in 2001. The reduction has been particullary important between 2010 and 2011, and started in 2007. By the last few years, only 2010 increased in comparison the the previous year.

15. Final use of energy The energy demand dropped mainly in industry and transport sector. Only civil sector (i.e. building) have a non-decresing trend, as it is 35% higher than 1990. The 2011 value (around 2,2 Mtoe) is slightly higher than the average values of the decades.

16. Energy demand of buildings In 2011 the building sector (private households and Service&Commerce) are still the main sector in which energy is required (52% of final uses). Private households are responsible for 76% of total consumptions even if they are losing importance against the service and commerce.

17. Industry energy demand Industry sector dramatically dropped between 2011 and 2010. The decrease is even higher than the whatr has been recorded between 2009 and 2008, which was already quite surprising. In comparison to 2000 the energy demand of industry decresed by more than 33%.

18. Energy demand of transport The energy demand in transport sector is decreasing, too. The value recorded in 2011 is the lowest ever. The reduction was by 5.5% from 1990, and by 25% from the top-peak of 2001.

19. CO2 emissions In 2011 the CO2 emissions related to the use of energy, dropped for the fisrt time below 12 Mton, nearly 20% less than in 1990. The average kyoto Protocol period value is around 12,5 Mton, more than 14,9% less than in 1990 (pari a 14,7 Mton). The Kyoto Protocol target is, thus, reached and nearly doubled since it should have been only 6,5% less than the baseline year.

20. In conclusion • The provincial energy system is very dependent from foreign supply and from natural gas supply • The energy demand is decresing at an unpredictable path, mainly in industry and transport sector • The Kyoto Protocol target is reached and nearly doubled • The district heating system is increasing its importance • The electricity production from renewables reache the target fixed for 2010 • Renewables needs a further push to reach the foreseen targets for 2020

21. European Energy strategy In Europe, energy supply is more and more dependent from foreigner countries. In business as usual trend dependency on total energy import will raise by 15% within 2030, increasing from nowadays 50% to 65%. Natural gas dependency will be 84%, oil up to 93%. This dependency is a threat to political and economic strength of the Union. That’s why the European Union addressed its energy policy to efficiency, renewable sources and low-carbon economy. The fixed target are the 5 times 20 (20-20-20 to 2020) strategy: • Increase of 20% of energy efficiency in comparison to actual trends • 20% of energy balance granted by renewable sources • Greenhouse gases emissions 20% lower than 1990 • All of these targets are due to be reached within 2020.
