A locality can thrive when residents protect their environment, use resources wisely, and feel comfortable in their homes. And when householders use less energy for lighting and heating, while being more comfortable, they also benefit from reduced costs. With this in mind, mayors across the country are increasingly involved in energy efficiency projects and are informing citizens about ways to make their homes more energy efficient.
Elena Savițchi, mayor of Borogani village in the Leova district, is among the LPA representatives who have managed to attract funds to improve the efficiency of 10% of households in the village. She thinks that the role of the mayor should not be limited to attracting investments for these efficiency works, but that constant support in informing and educating the residents is also necessary.
Out of the approximately 1000 households in the village, nearly 100 have already benefited from partial energy retrofitting works, both by replacing windows and doors and by other measures to improve the efficiency of their homes.
As the work has progressed, local people have become more involved and were asking for support to retrofit their homes. Those who had already benefited from the work became role models for the rest of the community, helping to promote the initiatives through their own experiences. The mayor of Borogani village encourages other local administration heads in the Republic of Moldova to be as close as possible to the local population, through continuous support and involvement, so that all localities in the country become modern and have a developed infrastructure.
Whether you are a homeowner, a handyman or a local mayor, in the framework of the “MĂ IMPLIC” project, the “Energy Efficiency” component, dedicated experts and specialists have developed for you a series of free informational materials (guides, leaflets, brochures) with practical recommendations for the energy efficiency of houses. These resources are available to citizens, technicians and local public authorities, providing clear and affordable solutions to reduce the amount of resources consumed and increase thermal comfort in all seasons. All materials can be downloaded from this website – www.ma-implic.md/eneff/.
The informational campaign on the importance of energy efficiency in rural areas of the Republic of Moldova is implemented through the project “MĂ IMPLIC” by Skat Consulting and the National Center for Sustainable Energy (CNED), with the support of the Swiss Government.
