Description
The "Šibenik-Knin Organization for Local Sources of Clean Energy" project (acronym: ŠKOLICE) is a joint project of five public institutions in the Šibenik-Knin County. The project partnership consists the Technical school from Šibenik as the lead partner and four project partners: the Elementary school of Homeland gratitude, Elementary school dr. Franjo Tuđman, Lovre Monti secondary school and Nursing home “Cvjetni dom Šibenik”. The main project aim is to achieve energy production with lower carbon emissions and increase the reliability of energy supply for public institutions in the Šibenik-Knin County.
The most important activity of this project is the implementation of five separate pilot activities including the installation of five integrated photovoltaic power plants with the total installed capacity of 324.86 kWp and estimated annual electricity production of 386 443 kWh from solar energy. In addition to the installation of photovoltaic power plants, a series of informative activities will be carried out, in order to raise awareness of stakeholders and the general public about the importance of using renewable energy sources for environmental protection, as well as the possibility of submitting project proposals to calls from other programs financed through the EEA Financial Mechanism.
The problem this project seeks to solve are the high utility costs for electricity institutions and the negative impact of conventional energy sources on the environment and unreliability of energy supply. This project will increase solar energy production (RES) and help reduce CO2 emissions into the atmosphere, as well as to increase supply reliability, especially in summer months when Šibenik-Knin County has a large influx of tourists whose increased electricity consumption affects negatively energy supply reliability.
