ABOUT THE 100% RENEWABLES CITIES AND REGIONS ROADMAP PROJECT
The 100% Renewables Cities and Regions Roadmap (100%RE) is an international project implemented by ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability with support from the International Climate Initiative (IKI) of the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, and Nuclear Safety (BMU).
The 100% RE is the first global an initiative that aims to accelerate the utilization of renewable energy by raising local awareness on renewable energy sources, showcasing how local and national governments can create coordinated enabling frameworks and policies, exploring access to public and private sector finance, and building local renewable energy projects addressing electricity and heating and cooling. ICLEI works together with local and regional governments from Argentina, Kenya, and Indonesia to develop community-wide 100% renewable energy (RE) strategies.
In Indonesia, ICLEI Indonesia has committed to assist the Government of West Nusa Tenggara (WNT) Province, Mataram City, and Sumbawa Regency. The project will foster multilevel governance, and put that collaboration at the heart of the sustainable energy transition in the region. This approach will allow cities and regions to not only unlock one of the largest potential solutions for GHG emission reduction, but also drive sustainable growth and local job creation, as well as various social benefits.
Local strategies towards 100% RE are developed by the deep-dive cities/regions, using available tools, and validating international methodologies for their own local context. Therefore, modelling and screening of community-scale pathways to transition to 100% RE is an important process. The modelling process will be conducted by Fraunhofer ISE. In order to support the modelling process, it is important to provide the data required.
