This is a kind of reverse bulk discount: anyone who can prove that they have increased their energy efficiency (power and heat) is granted a ten percent price reduction on their electricity bill. In order to benefit from the efficiency bonus, a company must enter into a target agreement with Canton Zurich or the Energy Agency for the Economy (EnAW), which also check that the agreement is adhered to.In 2011, around 210 companies, which account for a third of the city areas electricity consumption, profited from the efficiency bonus. This enabled 20.2 million kilowatt hours of electricity and 10.4 million kilowatt hours of heat to be saved. The bonus sum amounted to 14.1 million CHF.*Zurichs power company ewz | 1 | Cities-1.1a-C3-ProgramDescription | 3 | ||||||

| 34291 | CDP Cities 2014 | 35449 | Stadt Zürich | Strategy | Planning | NotRepeatable | 8.4a | Cities-8.4a-Planning | Pursuing a goal for the year 2050 takes a lot of patience. However, the development of a city calls for long-term planning anyway, because the effects of investment decisions last for decades. But as nobody knows what the future will bring, scenarios are needed. The future of heatThe city is currently drawing up a rough concept for the heat supply in the year 2050. In order to be able to get an estimate of the future which is as sophisticated as possible with the goal of the 2000-watt society in mind that is nearly fossil free, 23 areas of the city are being examined with regard to their local potential for renewable energies and the probable development of the demand for energy. The aim is to show how the political measures, relating to the future energy supply, must be oriented on the long term. In general, a shift from fossil fuels to renewable energies and to renewable electricity has to be persuaded. In this regards to this matter the implementation of local heating / cooling networks will become particularly significant.The future of electricityewz supplies over 200,000 households and 340,000 workplaces. For the next twenty years, the electricity supply is ensured by means of city owned hydro power plants and investments in other power plants. The licences to use hydro power begin to expire in 2035. The city is striving to renew them. The nuclear power plants will begin to disappear from the grid in 2025 and the largest investment is expected to come to an end upon expiry of the operating permit for the Gösgen nuclear power plant in 2038. The city does not want any new investment in nuclear power plants.In the City of Zurichs Future of Electricity project, ewz has drawn up scenarios for the next fifty years. It has analysed the situation on the production side, the situation on theconsumption side, the economic framework conditions and the technical possibilities, as well as modelling future developments in four consumption scenarios and three production scenarios. In order to cover the entire demand for electricity in 2060 with energy from renewable sources, around 100 million CHF would have to be invested in new plants each year over the next fifty years. By 2018, as an intermediate goal, 200 gigawatt hours (GWh) of electricity are to be produced from wind energy, 100 GWh from biomass and 10 GWh from solar power.Large renewable energy projectsIn 2009, with a large majority, voters approved 200 million CHF for wind energy projects.Since then, among other things, ewz has purchased five wind farms in Germany with thirty turbines. Together with municipalities in the canton Vaud, ewz is planning the Mollendruz wind farm in the Swiss Jura Mountains. In order to ascertain the City of Zurichs geothermal energy potential, ewz drilled to a depth of 2708 meters in the Triemli district in the winter of 2009/10. Hopes that the drilling would discover water-bearing layers from which heat could be extracted very efficiently were not fulfilled. However, the borehole is now being utilised by means of a deep borehole heat exchanger.City compatible mobilityThe city of Zurich is facing the challenges in the area of city compatible mobility and pursues the following objectives: Zurich is characterized by its spatial compactness, its fine- and coarse-mesh transport networks and an attractive local mobility (bicycle, pedestrian, etc.) as a city of short distances. Tangential and cross connections relieve the city-center, reduce time-consuming transfers and link neighborhoods, community centers and topographic units together. A city-friendly, multimodal mobility with a high ratio of public transport and non-motorized traffic leads to a good accessibility in the urban area and to a small exposure of the community members. The city-friendly mobility is facilitated by reliable and attractive public transport, an extensive network of walking and cycling connections, attractive neighborhood centers, a high percentage of car-free households, and a good supply of shops and recreational facilities. The accessibility for commercial transport, especially for the delivery transport, is ensured citywide. The connection of different means of transport is ideal designed and contributes significantly to the accessibility of the location Zurich. This in particularly for central, high traffic and well exploited by public transport areas, such as the city-center and the areas Hardbruecke, Altstetten and Oerlikon. Even the public transport hubs near the city limits are ideal designed so that these hubs can act as interfaces to the surrounding areas. The pollution's caused by transport (immisson air and noise) are minimized. As a minimum target, the total traffic load, despite the population and economic growth will be maintained at the current level.To reduce the pollution measures in the modal split for city-friendly transportation, drainage, noise prevention and general urban mobility are necessary. | 0 | 0 | |||||||

Promoters are cities, communities and organizations, which in turn approach companies as part of their own program and finish a contract with SwissEnergy for municipalities. New promoters receive a one-time fee of CHF 5'000. In addition, all promoters receive a further fee of max. CHF 5'000, for each company participating. The long term goal is to establish a mobility management in companies without government subsidies. | 7 | Cities-1.1a-C3-ProgramDescription | 3 | ||||||

| 34296 | CDP Cities 2014 | 35449 | Stadt Zürich | Governance | Governance | NotRepeatable | 1.2 | Cities-1.2-Governance | Zurich is the first city which has set itself the goal of the 2000-watt society in such a binding way. However, Zurich is of course not the only community seeking intelligent solutions in the fields of urban planning, construction, building maintenance, mobility or procurement. Thus, in order to learn from the experiences of others, and to enable others to benefit from its own experiences, Zurich is involved in several international networks, for example ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability, Eurocities, the Covenant of Mayors and Climate Alliance. At national level, Zurich is a member of the association Trägerverein Energiestadt (and bearer of the label Energiestadt Gold), and is also a member of the association ecobau, the platform for sustainability in public-sector construction. Zurich, Basel and Geneva are the 2000-watt pioneers, but other cities and smaller municipalities are now orienting themselves towards the same goal. On the federal level, the newly established 2000-Watt specialist division is carrying the idea onwards and acts as the contact point for interested municipalities. However, cooperation does not just mean an exchange with like-minded people. Anyone strolling along Stadthausquai who wants to reach the lake must hurry in order to cross the road in one go during the signals green phase. This sort of traffic situation at a touristically attractive location does not suit a city aiming to be a 2000-watt city. But the road in question (General-Guisan-Quai) is a cantonal road. Here, the city must comply with the cantons specifications regarding the number of cars that can drive along this road each hour. Cooperation also means pursuing a goal in an environment that sometimes represents other interests. The city can steer with regulations and ordinances, but the laws are made by the Federal Government and the cantons. They do not always correspond to the citys requirements. The federal offices for energy (SFOE), the environment (FOEN) and spatial development (ARE) are working in a similar direction to the City of Zurich. Politically, however, the preferences of the canton and the Federal Government are different. Today, many political bodies are committing to the saving of energy, but the speeds with which the goals are being pursued differ greatly. The City of Zurich and its partner cities are setting an example and systematically bringing their wishes and experience into the legislative process. So is it any use? In the 1990s, Zurich was a pioneer in a very different field: the policy on drugs. The concept with which the city fought against the squalor of the open drug scenes in Platzspitz and Letten met with fierce hostility at the time today it is the nationwide norm. A similar change in Zurichs surroundings is also taking place within energy policy and climate policy: today, without causing much of a stir, municipalities in which 30 km/h speed zones would have been unthinkable just a few years ago are setting up such zones themselves. | 0 | 0 | |||||||
| 34297 | CDP Cities 2014 | 35449 | Stadt Zürich | Introduction | Introduction | NotRepeatable | 0.1 | Cities-0.1-Introduction | Zurich has a unique position in Switzerland. It is the country's largest city and home to an internationally reputed financial center as well as being the focus of an economic region which acts as the motor of Switzerland, and along with Geneva is the most important gateway to the country. The wide variety of cultural activities and educational institutions define Zurich's character as a diverse, open city with a passion for life. Zurich is the capital of the canton of the same name and the center of a number of regions which together have some 1.9 million inhabitants (metropolitan area Zurich). It is famous for its lakeside location and green, densely wooded chain of hills which run through the city from north to south. Zurich's place on the world stage does not come down to its size but to its strong international networks. The high standards of living, working and accommodation are regularly confirmed in surveys of the local residents, and Zurich consistently finds itself at the top of international rankings of cities in terms of quality of life.One out of every nine jobs in Switzerland is in the City of Zurich, while 82 of 208 banking institutions in Switzerland have their headquarters here. The total assets of these banks correspond to 85.1% of the total value of all assets held in Switzerland. One out of every five jobs in the creative economy can also be found in Zurich, and these generate CHF 9.2 billion 15% of Switzerland's entire revenue. Zurich is a significant knowledge and research center, the basis of which is provided by the public elementary school system and the internationally renowned technical colleges. The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) is the flagship of Swiss colleges and is in the top five European universities. It has some 13,000 students spread over 16 departments, while Zurich University the largest in Switzerland has 24,000 registered students. The Pedagogical College, the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) and the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) are another three top-class technical colleges which contribute to Zurich's reputation as a knowledge and research pole by providing applied research and development.Ten years ago, the vision of a "2000-Watt-Society" was developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich. It is a model for energy policy which demonstrates how it is possible to consume only as much energy as worldwide energy reserves permit and which is justifiable in terms of the impact on the environment. The idea behind the 2000-watt society is that a lighter life, which requires less energy instead of always consuming more, is not only an ecological necessity, but can also be a better life. The city administration and city-owned companies are taking the mandate assigned to them by the voters seriously. However, in order to achieve the goal, it will also be necessary for residents, house owners and the business world to all pull together.Zurich cannot solve the climate crisis, nor the expected scarcity of oil, nor the uneven distribution of resources worldwide, but it can make its contribution and in doing so, it will also benefit in its own right. On 30 November 2008, the City of Zurich made a groundbreaking decision. Over three quarters of the electoral roll voted in favor of Zurich doing the following: Committing to sustainable development. Reducing its energy consumption to 2000 watts per person. Reducing its annual CO2 emissions to one tonne per person by 2050. Promoting renewable energies and energy efficiency. Not renewing its investments in nuclear power plants.With this strategy, Zurich wants to contribute to combating human-induced climate change, but there are also social, economic and ethical arguments which speak in favor of lower energy consumption. As a 2000-watt society, Zurich is better equipped for times of scarce and expensive energy resources, but the fact that the goals are set in the municipal code does not mean that they have yet been achieved. This requires effort on the part of the city administration, the residents and the local economy, but also good cooperation with political bodies at higher levels, namely the canton and the Federal Government.For more information please visit the following websites: http://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/content/portal/en/index/portraet_der_stadt_zuerich.htmlwww.stadt-zuerich.ch/2000-Watt-Gesellschaft | 0 | 0 | |||||||
