Description
The need to rely on domestic resources and reduce dependence on energy imports has come to the fore, including energy production from RES and the obligation to meet the European Green Deal as a center of economic recovery after the pandemic, as clean renewable energy has been identified as a tool for economic, environmental and social progress in the EU.The objective of this project is therefore to increase the installed capacity for the use of solar energy at 12 educational institutions in Varaždin County by installing photovoltaic power plants, strengthen the capacity for management and promotion of renewable energy sources (RES) and contribute to reducing CO2 emissions and increased security of electricity supply. Planned results of the project are: estimated annual production from solar energy: 361.631 Mwh /a, estimated reduction of annual CO2 emissions: 57.3546 tons and installed capacity for solar energy production: 0.3 MW.
The target groups and final beneficiaries of this project are the users of buildings, i.e employees, pupils and students in institutions of primary and secondary education, parents, employees of Varaždin County and the general public. School employees and students will be involved in the project as a target group of information and communication activities, i.e. capacity building for the promotion of renewable energy sources through the participation of school and Varaždin County employees in 3 workshops for dissemination of project results. The added value of the investment is indisputable for both schools and Varaždin County, because after putting into operation of their own power plants, schools will have clean and safe energy at their disposal, thus contributing to the green transition of the region.
