Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.
The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup”, in partnership with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development and with the support of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Moldova, has launched a competition for homeowners' associations under the “First Swallows” pilot project, with applications open until 6 November 2022.
The pilot project is part of a 2022-2024 technical assistance programme to improve energy efficiency and security in Moldova, and will lay the groundwork for a residential Energy Efficiency Fund. Twenty associations from across the country will be selected. They will receive training, a free energy audit (up to 10 buildings) and financial and consultancy support for designing and implementing measures (1-3 projects).
Associations not selected may still receive help obtaining financing from the Fund, scheduled for launch in 2023. Expected benefits include energy consumption cut by 20% to 50%, lower utility bills, greater comfort, higher property values and lower CO2 emissions. Registered associations and initiative groups can apply via an online form. Questions can be directed to Corina Gaibu at +373 69174909.
