Examples to Follow – Best practice renewable energy projects from the Visegrad Four countries

Description:

Sponsors: International Visegrad Fund, European Commission, Ministry for Environment and Water

Partners: Agree.Net, Hnuti DUHA-Friends of the Earth (CZ), Ekopolis Foundation (SK), Polish Ecological Club Upper Silesian Branch (PL)

Type: research/information

Aim: to locate successful renewable energy projects in the region and share their experiences

Target group: local and national decision makers

Description: Our experiences have shown that there is a big need for presenting successful renewable energy projects. Very often it is the lack of information what keeps local municipalities and corporations from lauching such investments. For our Best Practice database and publication we collected data about the technical, environmental and economic aspects and effects of the investments as well as information on the direct and indirect social effects and future plans of the project owners.
