Description

The goal of the project "Sun over Vukovar" (abbreviated: SunNyVuk) is to promote the use of renewable energy sources and contribute to the city''s transformation into a "carbon neutral" city by raising public awareness for the renewable energy sources. The goals will be achieved through the implementation of pilot projects within the SunNyVuk project and communication and dissemination activities during the implementation of the project and its results. The project plans to implement a total of twelve different pilot projects in buildings of schools, kindergartens, city administration and city institutions. By investing in the construction of solar power plants on the buildings of the city''s educational institutions, the aim is primarily to target the youngest population of the city in order to influence children''s awareness of the importance of preserving and caring for the environment and climate.

By investing in the construction of solar power plants on the buildings of the city administration and city institutions, we want to further emphasize the commitment of the city administration to the transformation into the "Carbon zero" city. The whole project represents the first stage in the transformation of public buildings where investing in solar power plants will increase the capacity of self-sufficiency in electricity production, which would eventually increase in the coming period by applying the experience gained. This would have a direct impact on reducing dependence on electricity and later heat supply chains. The implementation of the SunNyVUK project will lead to a reduction in electricity costs through the construction of solar power plants with a total capacity of 863.1 kWp and, consequently, a reduction in CO2 emissions by 147.8 t / year. The goal of the project is to increase the annual production of electricity from solar energy by 931.796,51 kWh in city’s public buildings.
