Project description:
The overall objective of the project is to establish a model of sustainable heating practices in the designated urban area, characterized by the widespread adoption of energy-efficient Air to Water Heat Pumps, the reduction of carbon emissions and energy consumption, and the cultivation of a community-wide sustainable energy culture.

Specific objectives include:

  • To implement the installation of Air to Water Heat Pumps in five designated public buildings in the urban area within the projects’ time frame.
  • To establish ‘ELRAD Energy-Radovish,’ an innovative RES energy management company, within the implementation period of the action.
  • To promote the adopted innovative heating model by actively engaging and mobilizing local communities, stakeholders and residents to facilitate knowledge sharing, collaborative initiatives, and public awareness campaigns, encourage widespread adoption of energy-efficient practices, cultivate a sustainable energy culture within the community, and create a lasting positive impact on local environmental sustainability.

 

Target groups and final beneficiaries of the project: citizens of the Municipality of Radovish, ELRAD ENERGY Radovis SMLLC as a sole member limited liability company for production of electricity and the local businesses and companies operating in RES sector.
