- An energy vision is a long-term vision which indicates the direction that the city wishes to follow in terms of its energy mix.
- Setting a longer-term vision is considered a key success factor of SEACAPs as it:
- Clearly shows the local authority’s political commitment.
- Gives a strong message to citizens and stakeholders on how the local authority wants to develop in the future.
- Paves the way for more substantial investment in sustainable infrastructure.
- The vision should be realistic but still ambitious and aligned with the national and international policy landscape.
- The vision should be elaborated with the local communities through citizen participation and discussion groups.
- The vision should be identified before setting the targets.
- The vision should align with SDG7: “Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all”. The three targets of SDG7 are:
- 7.1: By 2030, ensure universal access to affordable, reliable, and modern energy services.
- 7.2: Increase substantially the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix by 2030.
- 7.3: Double the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency by 2030.
Access to energy impacts gender equality (as demonstrated in Module 3.2). Therefore there is a link between the SDG7 and the SDG5 on gender equality.
“The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) seek to change the course of the twenty-first century, addressing key challenges such as eradicating poverty and hunger, eliminating inequalities and violence against women and girls and combating climate change. Gender equality and women’s empowerment are prerequisites for achieving these and other global goals. Thus, achieving gender equality and women’s empowerment is a stand-alone goal—SDG 5—and also integrated across the other goals, with many targets specifically recognizing gender equality and women’s empowerment as both an objective and part of the solution.”

What does an energy vision look like?
Here are two examples of an energy vision:
“The City of Bobo-Dioulasso is committed to switching to cleaner energy sources. By 2030 the city aims to encourage the adoption of energy efficient practices and technologies, and promote access to clean cooking fuels and technologies amongst its citizens, to ensure that all citizens, irrespective of their social class, have improved access to sustainable, affordable, clean and reliable energy”
Date set: June 2022
“By 2030, the City of Garoua will be in a position to diversify the energy supply (electricity and clean cooking) for its inhabitants by focusing on energy efficiency for the development of the local economy’’
Date set: May 2021
