Abstract
This report, supported by the energy
sector management assistance program (ESMAP), applies the
tool for the rapid assessment of city energy (TRACE) to
examine energy use in León, México. This study is one of
three requested and conducted in 2013 by the World Bank
Latin America and the Caribbean energy unit to begin a
dialogue on energy efficiency (EE) potential in Latin
America and Caribbean cities. In Puebla and León, TRACE
helped the Mexican Secretary of Energy (SENER) develop an
urban EE strategy. TRACE is a simple, practical tool for
making rapid assessments of municipal energy use. It helps
prioritize sectors that have the potential to save
significant amounts of energy and identifies appropriate EE
measures in six sectors - transport, municipal buildings,
wastewater, streetlights, solid waste, and power and heat.
Globally, the six are often managed by the cities which have
substantial influence over public utility services. The
study looked at six areas to determine the three that have
the greatest savings potential and where the city has a
significant degree of control: streetlights, solid waste,
and municipal buildings.
