Grants for energy efficiency projects in 58 Bulgarian municipalities have been approved under EU programs. Thus, a total of € 54 M will be distributed to improve the energy efficiency of 215 schools and kindergartens with a total of 85 000 students. Lilyana Pavlova, Deputy Regional Development Minister signed the contracts for the funds with the municipal mayors.
The funding is provided under two mechanisms of the EU Regional Development Operational Program. The first is for larger cities and includes projects of the Sofia Municipality, Pleven, and Ruse, while the second one is for energy efficiency in smaller towns. As a result of the investments, the 58 municipalities should be saving 2 million MWh of electricity annually.
