Description

Description The new Global Initiative on District Energy Systems aims to support cities and sub-national/national governments to develop, retrofit or scale up district energy systems, with support from international and financial partners, and the private sector.
Objectives To develop and implement a low-carbon district energy policy, and planning and investment road maps.

Sustainable Energy for All, an initiative led by the UN Secretary-General and the President of the World Bank, has as one of its three objectives for 2030 a doubling of the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency. The Global Energy Efficiency Accelerator Platform was established to help reach this objective.

Activities The District Energy Accelerator will engage city/country partners to develop an integrated policy and investment roadmap for deployment of district energy systems in multiple jurisdictions and initiate city partnerships or twinnings. These partnerships and city twinnings will allow city governments to share their policies and experiences and assist each other in policy planning and DES strategy development; and engage in a collaborative process with public and private sector stakeholders.
