<strong>Natural</strong> Resources Canada – Community Energy Systems GOVERNANCE OPPORTUNITIES - Case study: Vancouver, BC The Liveable Region Strategic Plan (LRSP) for the Greater Vancouver Regional District is the region’s official growth strategy forged and shared by 21 previously competing municipal jurisdictions. • More complete communities are developed. • Urban sprawl is limited by achieving a compact metropolitan area. • Transportation choices are increased. • The protected green zone has increased by approximately 60,000 hectares since 1991. • Air quality improvements have been significant as a result of reductions in emissions from industry and vehicles. This project is a 2002 winner of the UN Global Best Practice for Improving the Living Environment. Source: UN. 2002.

<strong>Natural</strong> Resources Canada – Community Energy Systems EXAMPLES OF COMMUNITY ENERGY PLANS - Case study: Vancouver, BC B.C. Hydro's Lower Mainland Electricity Choices program has developed a community energy planning orientation. It works with municipalities, and considers local demandside management (reducing or shifting energy use), site-based energy (such as building orientation and district energy systems) and low-energy community design as alternatives to substation and transmission line development. For additional information, contact http://www.bchydro.com/info/ - Case study: Quesnel, BC The City of Quesnel is developing a community energy plan. It focuses on land use and planning options, energy efficiency options, renewable energy options, and sustainable transportation options. Quesnel is considering implementing the plan with industry. If implemented it would have significant results in reducing CO2 emissions and saving energy. For additional information, contact the Community Energy Association www.energyaware.bc.ca or the Pembina Institute www.pembina.org - Case study: Kamloops, BC The City of Kamloop’s community energy plan was an ambitious attempt to maximize energy savings by developing a comprehensive portfolio of policies and actions covering everything from alternative fuel use to energy management protocols, from energy modeling to subdivision planning. Some consider the initiative failed because only a fraction of the initiatives have been implemented. The plan, if implemented, would have significant results. • Total costs could be reduced by 5 to 10 per cent. • Air emissions could be reduced by over 10 per cent. • Total per capita energy use could be reduced by 5 to 10 per cent.

It examined three scenarios: establishing a wood-fired district energy system: developing a utility-managed energy retrofit industry to retrofit older residential homes; and, implementation of energy retrofit programs for existing municipal buildings and municipal infrastructure. The plan, if implemented, would have significant results. • Household energy expenditures will by reduced by 7 per cent. • Twenty-six fulltime positions will be created. • Two new local industries will be created.
