Pokupsko is among the best Europe has to offer<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Croatian Municipality of Pokupsko, one of BioRES\u2019 priority location, has won the 2016 EUSEW award for the most innovative and outstanding energy projects in the category Public Sector. The prestigious prize was presented by Mr. Miguel Arias Ca\u00f1ete, EU Commissioner for Energy and Climate Action, during an official ceremony in Bruxelles on 14 June 2016.
\nThe award was received by Mr. Bo\u017eidar \u0160krinjari\u0107, Municipality of Pokupsko Mayor, and Mr. Julije Domac, North-West Croatia Regional Energy Agency managing director for a line of achievements in the area of sustainable energy transformation over the course of the past 8 years:
\n\u2022 Construction of the communal biomass heating plant (first in Croatia!)
\n\u2022 Reconstruction of street lighting
\n\u2022 Heat pump instalment in Pokupsko kindergarten
\n\u2022 Heat pump instalment in District elementary school Hotnja
\n\u2022 Installation of photovoltaic system on the municipal administrative building
\n\u2022 Energy retrofitting of municipal administrative building
\n\u2022 Education and awareness raising activities<\/p>\n

All projects have a positive socio-economic impact and are aimed at improving the quality of life for the local population. Noteworthy is that all projects have been accomplished in close partnership between the Municipality of Pokupsko and North-West Croatia Regional Energy Agency and show that a small local government of 2.500 inhabitants with a limited budget can implement sustainable solutions.<\/p>\n
