Description
The main results to be achieved with the rehabilitation of the SEAL are the reduction of energy costs by 81.7%, which equals 533.30 MWh /year, with an environmental annual equivalent of 629.26 tonnes of saved CO2 emissions. Overall objectives: Minimize energy consumption and increase the efficiency of the used energy resources, as well as cooperation between representatives of Bulgaria and Norway, in order to promote social and economic development processes and reduce economic and social disparities within the EEA. Specific objectives: 1) Rehabilitation and modernization of systems for external artificial lighting in four settlements in Haskovo Municipality, incl. replacement of luminaires, introduction of a System for distant group management and control and monitoring of electricity consumption of street lighting, construction of an Installation for the production of electricity for own needs from renewable sources; 2) Improve the quality and efficiency of street lighting and reducing operational costs; 3) Reduce financial expenses for consumed electricity; 4) Reduce electricity consumption and gas emissions accompanying electricity production; 5) Ensure the safe movement of motor vehicles, enhance the safety of pedestrian traffic at night and create a comfortable night atmosphere; 6) Achieve social equality and improve the living conditions of the residents of Haskovo Municipality; 7) Exchange of good practices and solutions with experts from Haskovo Municipality and IDN and establishing long-term cooperation in the field of EE.
Summary of project results
Outdated luminaires with heavily worn diffusers, which practically do not provide the necessary luminous flux and lead to insufficiently lit streets, not meeting the needs of the population. A problem in the maintenance of street lighting and the need for frequent replacement of defective lamps.
Replacement of old street lighting fixtures with new high-efficiency light sources - light-emitting diodes (LED) complete with new suspension elements (slingshots).
Introduction of a "System for remote group control and monitoring of the consumption of electric energy in street lighting", which allows for additional savings in consumed electricity based on flexible management of the hours of switching on and off of street lighting, as well as the ability to adjust the power of the lamps at different times of the day.
Construction of an installation for the production of electric energy for own needs from renewable sources
Energy-saving measures introduced to improve energy efficiency in the project settlements, reduced electricity costs and improved living conditions for the population.
Summary of bilateral results
Improved bilateral cooperation with interested stakeholders in the field of energy efficiency to present good practices and future development of the city and the municipality in this regard.
