The Competitiveness Programme - CZ - ERDF aims to help businesses use less energy and lower pollution by focusing on clean energy projects, with a budget of €418 million. It supports the use of renewable energy sources like biomass, solar power, and heat pumps for all types of businesses, including small ones and larger companies in agriculture and retail. In the past, the program focused mostly on energy efficiency, but moving forward, it should include different energy technologies to ensure businesses can work independently and stay competitive. To improve, the program should offer combined funding options and set specific goals to help choose the right technologies based on their economic benefits.

The Biržai District Municipality Strategic Development Plan 2023-2030 (Biržai SDP) was created to tackle issues like high energy costs and the war in Ukraine, with plans to invest around 27 million EUR to help use energy more efficiently. This plan is important for the local economy and is linked to a Renewable Energy Action Plan for the area. However, it does not include advanced solutions like energy storage or alternative sources, and it doesn’t focus enough on energy security, showing that there is a need for better policies and more cooperation because Biržai is located far from the center.
