This document builds upon the following reports: Tshwane State of Energy Report and Tshwane Energy Futures Report. Based on these reports, this document proposes a detailed strategy to address the challenges and constraints faced by the City (SEA, 2016).

A report on the inclusion of Sustainable Energy and Climate Change in municipal Integrated Development Plans (GIZ & SALGA, 2015)

This tool can be used to provide a quick overview of energy consumption and emissions by fuel, and electricity consumption and emissions by sector within a municipal area. It also provides a summary of the potential impact of major electricity efficiency interventions. (SEA, 2014)

This Protocol provides requirements and guidance for cities on preparing and publicly reporting a greenhouse gas (GHG) emission inventory. The primary goal is to provide a standardized step-by-step approach to help cities quantify their GHG emissions in order to manage and reduce their GHG impacts. The Protocol is in a pilot phase, with the release of the final version expected in 2014. It replaces the International Local Government GHG Emissions Analysis Protocol and the International Standard for Determining GHG Emissions for Cities. (C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group and ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability, 2014)

This 2013 low carbon strategy is for the central Cape Town city area and provides data and information as well as action plans to move the city towards a lower carbon trajectory. Key areas for change lie in electricity and transport efficiency. (Sustainable Energy Africa and Cape Town Partnership, 2013)

This toolkit complements the Let’s Respond Guide. (Developed by Sustainable Energy Africa and Palmer Development Group for Department of Environmental Affairs, Department of Cooperative Governance and SALGA, 2012)

A guide to integrating climate change risks and opportunities into municipal Integrated Development Plans. (Developed by Sustainable Energy Africa and the Palmer Development Group for the Department of Environmental Affairs and Department of Cooperative Governance, and SALGA 2012)

This greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory spreadsheet template was created for eThekwini Municipality, but can be used by other municipalities wishing to create their own GHG inventories. The inventory is based on ICLEI’s International Local Government GHG Emissions Analysis Protocol V1.0 and Local Government Operations Protocol for the Quantification and Reporting of GHG Inventories V1.1. (WSP Environment and Energy for eThekwini Municipality, 2011)

A component of the eThekwini Greenhouse Gas Inventory work was the development of a customised Excel-based Inventory Reporting System to facilitate the future compilation of the inventory. This document is a guide on the use of this spreadsheet. (WSP Environment and Energy for eThekwini Municipality, 2011)
