Enigin Update - Municipalities get EU Energy Efficiency Grants
GRANTS for energy efficiency projects from European Union (EU) programmes have been approved and are being distributed across 58 Bulgarian municipalities.
Part of the funding, a total of BGN105million ($72million), will be distributed to improve the energy efficiency in 215 schools and kindergartens, affecting 85,000 students.
The funding is provided under two mechanisms of the EU's Regional Development Operational Program. The first is for larger cities and includes projects in the Sofia Municipality, Pleven, and Ruse, while the second one is for energy efficiency in smaller towns. As a result of the investments, the 58 municipalities should be saving 2 million MW/h of electricity annually.
Enigin Distributors in the region have energy efficiency technology from Enigin that many schools and other public bodies find is vital to enable them to take effective energy saving actions.
The contracts were signed on Monday this week by Lilyana Pavlova, the Bulgarian Deputy Regional Development Minister, with the municipal mayors.
