Adopting eco-friendly technologies in Chocimsk District (installing solar-battery streetlights in small settlements), as a way of reducing energy dependence
Project goal: Reduce the district's energy dependence by installing solar-battery streetlights in small settlements.
Project tasks:
- install solar-battery streetlights - examine and extend the experience of adopting alternative energy sources in Chocimsk District - disseminate safe and eco-friendly technologies - provide street lighting to residents of small settlements
Expected results:
1. To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, two (2) innovations will be introduced: LED lighting, solar panels;
2. More than 8.7 tons of CO2 emissions will be reduced through energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies
3. 1050 people will benefit from the introduction of innovations
4. Six (6) local authorities will be informed about the focal direction of climate change
