Public policies and strategically selected development projects are aimed on development of highly productive and competitive industries and development the "City of Technology". The project solves the problem of non-existence of a complete overview of geothermal potential, ie. lack of technical documentation for geothermal water research in the area of Town Kutina. use of geothermal energy (district heating systems and commercial use) After the full implementation of the project, Kutina will annually produce geothermal energy in the amount of 31,594.40 MWh, with reducing annual CO2 emissions by 6,957.09 t. The project strengthens the professional capacity of 7 employees of the local Town Kutina government and companies owned by him, in the field of management, use and promotion of RES. The city of Kutina plans to combine geothermal energy with other renewable energy sources, such as photovoltaic power plants in public buildings. The project focuses on the preparation of technical documentation required for geothermal water research in the Batina/Kutina area, ie applying for a license to explore geothermal aquifers, applying for a license and starting research that includes preparation of documentation, recording additional geophysical data and overhaul of existing well Batina-1 and/or drilling a new well. The project shows positive financial indicators in the case of overhaul of the Batina-1 well, and in the case of drilling a new well in the City.
