Rohestamiskava (Greening Plan)

RAKVERE- the City of Green Energy!!!

Greening plan

1. Introduction and background

United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change was produced in 1992 and Estonia ratified it in 1994. The objective of the treaty is to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.

Estonia joined the Kyoto protocol in 1998 and took the responsibility to diminish the greenhouse gas emissions during the period of 2008-2012 by 8% compared to the year 1990. Today almost 50% of this responsibility has been achieved.

The European Union adopted „Energy for the Changing World“ on the 9th of March 2007 and commited to cut at least 20% of CO2 emissions from all primary energy sources by by year 2020.

A great number of Mayors of European Cities signed the Covenant of Mayors in February 2009 and took upon itself the responsibility to go beyond energy policy of European Union, i.e. diminish the CO2 emissions by more than 20%..

The Hemicycle of European Parliament welcomed the representatives of more than 400 cities from all over Europe. Rakvere was the first city in Estonia to join the initiative of European Commission already in January 2008 and signed the Covenant together with other cities of Europe in 2009.

Rakvere has been actively involved in developing the concept of energy efficient city since 2008. It was one of the first cities in Europe that developed the SEAP (Sustainable Energy Action Plans) as early as July 2009. Rakvere also has the development plan for street lightening since 2005.

The City of Rakvere is internationally active in different transnational projects that target energy and environment issues. It is also a member of international organisations.

The successful activity in energy and climate issues, brought Rakvere among six nominees out of hundred participating cities in the competition of European Energy Awards in 2010 (subsection Energy Efficient Communities).

Since Rakvere City Government is providing energy capacious services, among them street lightening that is possible to be alter much more energy efficient by modernizing lamps and implementing management system, the current project proposal for Reconstruction Subsidy of Outdoor lightening together with Greening Plan is presented.

1. Targeted greening activities

2.1.1. Modernizing streetlightening network of public areas of Rakvere City with the aim of energy saving and management optimization.

Technical data of existing streetlightning system of Rakvere City:

• Total length of enlightened streets ~ 77,5 km
• Number of lamps 2460 psc , incl.. 25 % mercury lamps, 65 % sodium-vapor lamps and 10 % park-lamps and spotlights

2.1.5. Modernizing lightening devices by replacing or modifying.

2.1.6. Utilization of depreciated lightening devices and replacing them with new ones.

2.1.7. Reconstruction of control stations and equipment of them with remote management and monitoring systems.

2.1.8. Optimal modernization of power supply network of lightening system of public areas according to the requirements of corresponding managing system’s individual managing and control of lamps.

2.1.9. Optimization of the energy consumption of lights by software scenarios

2.1.10. Optimization of localization of lightening poles according to EVS-EN843:2003; EVS-EN13201.

2.1.11. Optimization of choice of lamps according to EVS-EN 843:2003; EVS-EN 13201

2.1.12. Standardizing the choice of lamps and lamp poles according to the zones of urban environment with the aim to achieve esthetical environment

2.1.13. Emphazising the valuable urban zones of the city

2.1.14. Increasing the safety of the city implementing the possibilities of the remote control system and by this shaping the enlightening of the areas according to the necessity of the moment according to the simple lightening scenarios

2.1.15. Large-scale utilization of depriciated devices will decrease costs

SHORT DESCRIPTION OF WORKS: Töömahud

The works are conducted on so called regular areas of the city and on the area under protection of national heritage of Rakvere City (Old Town)

Lightening network is designed according to the standards of EVS-EN. Cabelling will be conducted under ground. The danger for vandalism is taken into consideration in certain areas of the city and additional cabel pipage will be designed depending on the necessity of the monitoring system.

When it comes to LED lights, attention is paid on the fact that the lights will tolerate working temperatures under -35C.

Existing and new switchboards will be supplied with remote management system (described in 2.1.3). The software and system will be tuned.

The management of the lightening devices will be arranged by contracted partners on the basis of remote management and those partners have the responsibility to implement existing and and developed lightening scenarios according to the agreements.

3.2. Time-frame – projekti ajaline raamistik

• 2012- Designing of the building project and tendering process; starting with works

• 2013- Ending of building works; reporting

3.3. GHG emission reductions and Greening Factor

Diminsing the energy consumption by 47%, provides a possibility to sell CO2 quota with the guarantee that the means are used for reducing the energy costs within the frames of „GREENIG PROGRAM“. The Estonian lightening systems are energy costly and undeveloped both as it comes to quality demands as well as modern remote systems.

Therefore, the fact is quite remarkable that by taking Rakvere’s streetlightening system on the standardized level by reconstructing the existing system and by increasing the number of lamps by 980, the retrenchment of achieved energy consumption is 47%.

3.4. Responsible institutions

The Government of the Republic of Estonia, acting through the Ministry of the Environment will be responsible before the AAU purchaser for the fulfillment of the AAU purchase agreement. The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications will be responsible for the implementation of this greening plan, while local government (the Green Investment Scheme Operator) will carry out the implementation in practice.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications will:

• be responsible and liable for the implementation of the Greening Plan;
• supervise the implementation of the Greening Plan by local government and later reporting by local government;
