Projects in progress

The Local Inclusive Low-Carbon Development Project was implemented from 01st February till 30th November 2021 in the territory of four municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina (Tešanj, Teslić, Lopare, and Gračanica) in cooperation with the Environment and Energy Centre of Tuzla and with financial support of the Open Society Fund of BiH to acquaint local authorities, citizens, and business community with all aspects of the energy transition and help them develop local-level priorities to implement fair and inclusive transition.

The Core Objective of the Project was to use the bottoms-up approach to involve above mentioned selected local communities into the energy transition process, reduce pollution and shift to renewable energy sources through cooperation and exchange of experiences.

The Project envisaged training of local authorities in energy management and renewable energy sources, assembling of working teams that would lead on this issue in their communities, and creation of the conditions to enhance the awareness of the public about the energy transition and decarbonisation processes.

In addition to a series of workshops conducted by RESET experts with the working groups in local communities, four conceptual design-level projects were developed for local communities to implement in the coming period:

• Conceptual design project of installation of a PV power plant on a kindergarten in Gračanica
• Conceptual design project of installation of a PV power plant for own needs of the hospital in Tešanj
• Conceptual design project of installation of a PV power plant for own needs on the Lopare Municipality Building, and
• Conceptual design project of an autonomous PV system for the Očauš Cave in the Municipality of Teslić

In addition, one school in each municipality received a solar school teaching kit and teachers were trained to instruct their students.
