Regional Energy Agency Kvarner Ltd. has been established by the County of Primorje-Gorski Kotar, with the support of the European Commission, Intelligent Energy Europe program in 2009;

The Agency is established  as a single organization and institutionalized framework for more rational use of existing energy resources;

The main objective and the role of the Agency is to promote and encourage sustainable regional development in the field of energy through the use of renewable energy sources and introducing energy efficiency;

The Agency also supports the introduction of 'good practice' in energy management, encourages the concept of sustainable development, provides information and advice, as well as a range of other services based on specific local energy needs;

The Agency's mission is to increase the share of renewable energy in total energy consumption in its region.

MAIN ACTIVITIES OF THE AGENCY:

proposing and implementing measures to achieve energy efficiency (EE) and the use of renewable energy sources (RES) – also known as 20-20-20

Energy savings in buildings (energy audits, energy certificates, recommendations for increasing the efficiency of heating, lighting and installation)

premanent citizen’s education

monitoring and assessing the current situation and analysis

proposing energy action plans with emphasis on EE and RES

cooperation with local governments on energy projects and making of their SEAP’s

project application to EU and other fundsGreenhouse gass Energy consumption Renewables

Projects “Sun on your roof” in 2010 - solar thermal collectors

Project “Green energy in my home” in 2011 - 2010 year’s project extended to biomass systems

Projects are aimed to co-finance households in installing heating systems using renewable energy sources

Total costs of equipment and installationof solar or biomass systems in householdsare co-financed in the amount of 40% of the investment.

Public building of Primorje-Gorski Kotar County

The project involves investment in photovoltaic power plants with capacity of 30 kW each, suited on the flat roofs of buildings owned by the local government. The area of the county of Primorje and Gorski Kotar has a great potential to exploit the solar energy.

The Power purchase contractgives the investor/project developera proof that their electricity production will be incentivized fora period of 14 years.

Installation of solar farms up to 50 hectares is adequate for planned Site, having a maximum power output of 10 MW per location.

Physical planning documents:• A portion of the site has already

been defined by the Primorje-Gorski Kotar County Physical Plan and the remainder will be determined by physical plans of municipalities and cities.
