The national project Green Households II is being prepared within the framework of the Operational Program Environmental Quality, which is managed by the Ministry of the Environment of the Slovak Republic. Green Households II is the second stage of support aimed at using so-called small renewables in family and apartment houses. The implementer is the Slovak Innovation and Energy Agency (SIEA), which is a contributory organization of the Ministry of Economy. Support is provided for electricity generation facilities, namely photovoltaic panels and heat generation facilities, such as solar collectors, biomass boilers and heat pumps. The aim of the project is to increase the share of RES use in…
Our Energy Cooperative is a private and local government initiative created in response to high electricity prices offered by mainstream companies. It was established in 2014 by Bio Power Ltd. in Zamość, Elektromontaż Ltd. and four municipalities from the Zamość region: Sitno, Skierbieszów, Komarów-Osada and Łabunie. It intends to build a dozen or so small biogas plants that will ensure energy self-sufficiency for these communities by supplying electricity and, if possible, thermal energy for public utility buildings and households. The cooperative ensures that the launch of the investment will contribute to the creation of hundreds of jobs, will enable access to high-performance natural fer…

The Quercus Foundation has worked for several years in the area of energy and climate change as a part of their global interest in issues related to environmental care. Its intervention is based on the environmental education of citizens and monitoring public policies. "The goal of the program is to evaluate the real capacities of families to lower energy use with concrete activities (energy efficiency of buildings) and by changing habits (promotion of the rational use of energy). There are three phases: 1) 30 families from Lisboa, Oeiras e Sintra, 2005 to 2006; 2) 225 family units from Portugal, 2007; 3) 1000 families from Portugal, 2009-2011.…

In Portugal, it is run by Quercus and ADENE. www.topten.pt…
The iBROAD approach is an evolution of the Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) and energy audit systems, aiming to become a real driver for renovation. The project will identify the elements, develop an integrated concept, and produce modular tools suitable for differing national conditions. It aims to take individual building renovation roadmaps to the next level by further developing the EPC and energy audit systems.…

The project promotes electromobility in the city of Suceava and throughout Romania. Different types of e-vehicles were supplied, and a network of charging stations was constructed. Results: reduced consumption of energy and a decrease in the emission of climate-affecting gases, and a positive example of the use of electric vehicles.…
Iulian Angheluta initiated a campaign in 2014 called “Light for Romania” within the global NGO "Free Miorita" (created by him). The aim was to bring electricity to remote Romanian villages that are disadvantaged by their location and lack of infrastructure. Since 2013, the project has brought light to the homes of 78 families and two churches in 14 counties in Romania that were previously illuminated by oil lamps, candles, or flashlights. As these homes/villages are not connected to the grid, electricity is produced by solar panels.…
SustainCo, an EU project, supported the European vision for the energy performance of buildings that by 2020, all new buildings should be nearly Zero Energy. The SustainCo project aimed to raise awareness of and support the development of low-energy building projects, with special emphasis on rural areas.…
