About this good practice

Installation of renewable energy sources (hereinafter - RES) using energy production capacity, development and implementation of new technologies for more efficient use of RES in industrial enterprises, especially in SMEs in order to use energy to meet the internal needs of enterprises and, if possible, to supply surplus energy to other industrial enterprises or transfer to centralized energy networks.

Resources needed

According to the Description, it is planned to allocate up to EUR 1,650,000 for the implementation of projects. The maximum amount of funding available for the project is EUR 500,000.

Evidence of success

Approved applications will receive state funding for solar power plants in all about 48 MLN EUR. This year approved 19,5k applications. The max amount that a resident can receive is 3230 Eur. Recoverability is 5-6 years. Applications filled online. The total capacity of the plants specified in the applications >24 MW. This year from EU funds designated 5,3 MLN Eur, from which 4,1 mln. Eur for installation of plants in households, 1,2 MLN Eur for the purchase of plants from remote parks.

Potential for learning or transfer

This practice could have a positive impact on increase of number of prosumers. Aims to increase the number of prosumers in the country by offering individual solar power plants. It is a popular alternative for energy and consumption conscious residents as well as businesses.
Promoting the installation of RES-using energy production capacity, development and implementation of new technologies for more efficient use of RES in industrial, especially in SMEs as well as big companies in order to use energy to meet the internal needs of enterprises and, if possible, to supply surplus energy to other industrial enterprises or transfer to centralized energy networks.
