GIZ_SEA, 2019, Implementing Municipal Energy Management Systems.pdf
Energy management systems are the key to saving energy and reducing costs. Municipalities are increasingly considering energy efficiency measures in their own operations in an effort to reduce costs and increase sustainability. The information brochure outlines a step-by-step guide to energy management systems in municipalities and describes an energy management organisational model for implementation. It also presents a case study from the City of Cape Town illustrating how municipalities can transition from project-based energy efficiency interventions to a programmatic energy management systems approach.

About: The Anaerobic Digestion Guideline is a practical guideline for wastewater practitioners and managers involved in the planning, design, operation, maintenance and management of WWTW. The guideline is based on the premise of the American “Capable Plant” concept which demonstrates a holistic management process for the beneficial use of biosolids and biogas naturally generated during the anaerobic digestion process. The Guideline will form the basis of a series of training and capacity building events for municipalities offered through WISA. Disclaimer: The use of the Guideline is restricted to private use and may not be used for income generation purposes. Should any content be cited from the guideline, kindly acknowledge the authors and GIZ as publisher. The content of the guideline has been compiled by subject matter experts, peer reviewed by sector experts and tested during three pilot training sessions in municipalities. Although every effort has been taken to ensure the correctness of the content, GIZ-SAGEN, the authors and peer reviewers are not liable for any damages caused by the use of the content of the Guideline.

GIZ_SAGEP, 2018, The electricity distribution industry in Germany South Africa-a review of policy regulation .pdf
This Discussion paper summarises the challenges and opportunities of changes in the German power market triggered by liberalisation and the Energiewende, and relates them to the energy transition challenge in South Africa. Based on German and South African experiences, the paper formulates suggestions for municipal utilities and a possible way forward for a new electricity distribution market design in South Africa.
This Paper is based on the outcomes of the South African-German Policy Discussion Workshop on Energy Market Design and Municipal Utility Business Models from 4th-8th December 2017 in Eschborn, Germany, jointly organised by SAGEN and the Secretariat of the South African German Energy Partnership (EP).
