Celebrating our history and heritage necessary, on the advice of the new Air Quality Commission, to allow us to take better informed decisions on improving air quality. We will, in the first quarter of 2020, move the Witham’s Road Air Quality Monitor to the NW of Gibraltar. We will increase the range of pollutants monitored by all monitoring devices to include volatile organic compounds. CLEAN AIR BILL We will introduce a Clean Air Bill to ensure that we have a legal right to clean air. RENEWABLE ENERGY Replacing our old diesel-powered power station and legacy infrastructure is just one part of becoming cleaner and more sustainable in our power generation as we move into a more sustainable energy future. In keeping with our Climate targets, and in order to improve air quality through Gibraltar, we will continue to roll out renewable energy projects. We will keep to our existing target of 20% of our power being from renewable sources by 2020 and aim further to achieve 50% by 2030. SOLAR We will ensure the expansion of solar power installations in different areas of Gibraltar. We will enhance incentives for solar panels for residential and commercial properties and will ensure that new developments continue to incorporate green rooves, including where possible rooftop gardens and/or solar panels, and green walls. Government will roll out solar energy generation to all Government owned and operated buildings within 4 years to supplement energy requirements and reduce the reliance on LNG. We have also announced as part of our post-Brexit national Economic Plan the development of a solar park as set out by Sir Joe Bossano in the pages of this manifesto. TIDAL Following a successful pilot at the Eastside of wave power generation, Government will seek to expand energy generation from this initiative to its maximum capacity within 4 years and explore alternative locations to deploy additional power generation from this ample source PRIVATE BUSINESS INCENTIVES Duty on all energy-efficiency equipment and installations will be abolished. Rates relief will also be introduced to any commercial building introducing Solar energy generation that achieves a reduction of 20% or more of ongoing power requirements. Given Government subsidises the cost of Electricity in Gibraltar, a reduction in consumption from traditional sources will provide subsidy savings enabling the above to be self-funding. WIND Subject as ever to environmental impact assessments, we will promote wind power generation in selected sites and will actively investigate the possibility of offshore wind power and marine current power. CABLE LINK We will continue to study and give serous consideration to a possible cable link across the Strait to take advantage of the wealth of renewable energy being produced in North Africa. 80 ...aspire to the best Gibraltar
OLD DIESEL PLANTS DECOMMISSIONED By the end of <strong>2019</strong> we will decommission all the old diesel power generating plants. AIR POLLUTION CONTROL PLAN We will introduce and strictly apply an Air Pollution Control Plan. Our targets within this plan will include: • Solar thermal installations at all community sports and educational facilities; • solar powered street lighting; • energy efficiency programmes for Government buildings. • continuing to roll out smart meters and will work towards developing a ‘smart city’ that will provide the highest possible level of energy efficiency. SMART CITY ENERGY EFFICIENCY We will work towards developing a ‘Smart City’ that will provide the highest possible level of energy efficiency. VEHICLE EMISSIONS We will further reduce vehicle pollution and will encourage transition from petrol and diesel to hybrid and electric vehicles (EV). We will reinforce the Government’s current policy as a minimum of not registering private vehicles that are not at least hybrids by 2030 and only registering those that are fully electric by 2035. GOVERNMENT FLEET We will lead by example, and all Government vehicles purchased as from 2020 will be hybrid or electric unless there are no models suitable for the purpose. INCENTIVES FOR ELECTRIC We will offer further incentives to EVs, such as: • providing fast charging points in all Government facilities; • electric vehicle only parking spaces in Government facilities • completing the process already started of providing fast charging points around Gibraltar; • ensuring all estates provide charging points for residents HEAVY GOODS FLEETS We will introduce a programme of conversion of heavy goods fleets to low emission vehicles. CAR POOLING We will encourage car pooling systems for school children, shopping, etc. TUNNEL VENTILATION We will introduce active ventilation in Dudley Ward and Keightley Way tunnels. We will also enhance these with better lighting where necessary and seek to make pedestrian access safer. SHIP EMISSIONS We will immediately introduce legislation to control emissions from ships, especially black smoke. COLD IRONING We will provide shore power (‘cold ironing’) for vessels at the Extension Jetty and will require commercial entities such as Gibdock to do so also. GIBDOCK We will ensure that Gibdock operates in a manner that does not pose a health risk to the surrounding areas. If our renegotiations on the lease do not enable us to ensure full and proper compliance with the highest environmental standards, we will not renew the Gibdock lease and redevelop the areas released into a mix of high- ...aspire to the best Gibraltar 81
