WEC-IMC STUDY

Energy for Mega Cities – Case study of Delhi

About Study

World Energy Council conducted a study, initially called as “Energy for Mega Cities”, which was later renamed as “Energy and Urban Innovation” for the basic reason that there are lessons to be learnt from cities which may not strictly fall under the definition of Mega Cities.

This study examined the requirements to meet demand for energy and the delivery of secure and reliable energy services in the growing number of very large cities around the world. The objective was to develop concepts of secure energy supply and distribution based on technologies under development, including the transport sector, to ensure a sustainable future.

The study report was released during the World Energy Congress 2010 held at Montreal in Canada from 12th to 16th September 2010.

Annexes to the report also host the case studies used in the report, in particular, the city case studies. The following cities were included in the report-

Cape Town
Delhi
London/Paris
Mexico City
San Fransisco
Shanghai
Tokyo
Toronto

The Delhi case study was prepared with contributions from concerned stakeholders. The report forms an integral part of the WEC report “Energy and Urban Innovation”

Meetings & Workgroup

1st Meeting
Held on 08/12/08 at conference Hall , Ministry of Power , New Delhi

Minutes>>

1.	Mr. Anil Razdan, Chairman WEC-IMC and Chair of the Global Study on “Energy for Mega Cities” welcomed all the participants and appreciated that experts from various national and international organizations; and officials from various departments of Delhi and central government were present to deliberate on this subject of great importance. Briefing the participants about the purpose and objectives he mentioned that while activities for organizing the Commonwealth Games are in full swing, detailed planning has been done and all the involved agencies are working actively, as per the overall plan and their respective scope, it was realized that an opportunity existed to introduce energy measures for sustainable development and to document the impact so as to develop a Case Study on the City of Delhi. WEC-IMC decided to take up this subject to study the energy issues involved with the activities and how they will impact sustainability and growth of Delhi both in their run up to 2010 as well as in the long term perspective. He further mentioned that WEC, a global body, is conducting a triennial study on “Energy for Mega Cities” and he is chairing the study group. During the recent meeting in Mexico City it was suggested that we may take up Case Study of some of the mega cities. Delhi has been identified as one of the Mega Cities as a Case Study. He asserted that valuable inputs from the WEC-IMC Study on “Sustainable Development of Delhi for and beyond Commonwealth Games” can be developed into the Case Study thereby giving a global exposition to work done in Delhi.
2.	This was followed by a presentation on the WEC-IMC Study on “Sustainable Development of Delhi for & beyond Commonwealth Games” and WEC Study on “Energy for Mega Cities” by Mr. Pradeep Chaturvedi. The presentation defined the objectives, methodology and framework of both the studies. The presentation elaborated specifically on the proposed areas for coverage; contents of the Report and inputs to be requested from different agencies and experts. It was also explained that the concept was presented at a National Conference and the Chief Minister of Delhi and the Chief Secretary of Delhi also appreciated the idea. The study is expected to provide significant inputs for various agencies at the present level of implementation. This was followed by deliberations on various issues as elaborated below.
3.	It was suggested that the Study should reflect the reality and not be only an academic exercise; bring out positive aspects of planning and development; and suggest value addition to planned operations; and the recommendations should maintain a balance between climate change mitigation and adaptation techniques. It was informed that most of the issues relating to work plans have been documented by the Delhi government. The focus of such documents is on construction activities and their timely completion. Issues relating to sustainable development may still need focus and proper incorporation. The effort of this study should be to address both these issues and suggest measures of value addition to the existing efforts.
4.	It was also suggested that the Report should not be an assessment of the actions of the agencies. It should be a high standard professional exercise, incorporating international experience also drawn from other WEC member countries, suggesting improvement in effectiveness of project implementation by integrating practical interventions.
5.	It was discussed that the proposed Scope of the Study is very broad and proper justice may not be possible for each identified aspect. It was suggested that some of the aspects relating to sustainable development may be focused.
6.	It was suggested that the Study may be presented in following two time frames: Up to Commonwealth Games 2010 Beyond 2010
7.	It was suggested to look at historical development of Delhi after ASIAD 1982 and how the Asian Games impacted the development process. It was suggested that the scenario for possible impact of Commonwealth Games may also be developed and presented.
8.	It was expressed by some members that Study should also look at the facilities and development in the satellite towns like Gurgaon, Noida and Faridabad. There needs to be a balance in development in towns in the NCR otherwise the increased facilities in Delhi will attract more and more people to migrate to Delhi from neighbouring towns resulting in additional load on already stressed infrastructure. It was also discussed that Commonwealth Games may or may not result in sustainable development of Delhi, but this Study is a good opportunity to look at how the investments are focusing on actions to meet the sustainability issue.
9.	It was suggested that as the scope of the study is broad and the time available is short, the WEC-IMC Secretariat take into consideration all the suggestions of the members and review and finalise the contents and approach for the Study. A questionnaire may be prepared and sent out quickly to the stakeholders for their inputs. If desired, specific sub-groups may be formed in some or all the selected areas for in-depth study in their respective areas of core competence.
10.	It was agreed that the study group offered excellent opportunity to share the plans and showcase the efforts of various departments and agencies involved in preparation for the Commonwealth Games.
11.	It was also agreed that the proceedings of this study group can also be seen as a brainstorming exercise where ideas may emerge from persons from diversified groups, which will be made in a structured form of a Report to facilitate effectiveness of actions. WEC-IMC is making a sincere effort as a knowledge partner to Implementing Agencies, and synthesis of findings will be presented to assist agencies and officials in improving effectiveness of their actions.
12.	The Time Frame for the Study was discussed to be six months, with certain interim findings being made available at periodic intervals. It was suggested that the request for specific inputs from various agencies be sent out immediately in a structured manner.
13.	The meeting was ended with vote of thanks to the Chair and participants.
Note: As advised by the Committee the Secretariat considered all the suggestions and reviewed the original plan presented to the Committee on December 8, 2008. A Questionnaire has also been prepared and is being sent out to the agencies and experts to provide inputs. The Secretariat has also considered that on receiving the inputs and comments from different agencies the approach will be once again reviewed

The territory of NCR may be defined. The data, including population estimates should specifically indicate the area it is refereeing to.
The focus of the study is mainly on Energy and therefore, the study has to include inputs for Petroleum and Natural Gas. Gas distribution and gas based generations also need to be included.
Potential for Solar needs to be studied.
The study needs to cover the initiative of ECBC specially with respect to building activity and transport sector.
He sought inputs from DMRC for savings in fossil fuel and emissions with the implementation of both the phases of Metro.
He suggested that while the draft case study prepare covers the statistics for transport figures. The duly initiative in parking policy and land used patterns also need to be included.

The study team also discussed and cam to a conclusion that the following should be showcased in the study-

CNG transport fleet of Delhi
IGL co-generation models for common building
Delhi Government climate change plan
MNRE initiatives for promotion of use a job renewable energy in urban areas

It was discussed and agreed to that the following shall be added to the report and the concerned members shall provide the relevant inputs for the study-

ICF support was sought in undertaking the study to estimate the fuel wastage in traffic holdups and idling time.
