Session Synopsis - "Energy Efficiency Strategy to Mitigate GHG Emissions. Energy Efficiency Demonstration Zone in the City of Gabrovo, Bulgaria"

Atanas Stoykov, Center for Energy Efficiency EnEffect

Monday, August 19
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

The intent of the project is to introduce practices at the municipality level that overcome barriers to improved energy efficiency and reduced emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other environmental pollutants.

The project is organized into two elements: 1) national capacity building and 2) supporting demonstrations.

The Capacity Building activities focus on municipalities as the critical political and socio-economic unit for bringing about change in Bulgaria. They include municipal energy management, training and financing activities.

Supporting demonstrations in street lighting, district heating and building retrofit projects show how capacity building can be applied to real projects.

Project management supports these efforts and the rapid diffusion of capacity building and demonstrations to other municipalities, reaching at least 30 municipalities - a critical mass for ensuring that the reforms continue throughout the country after the project is concluded.
