Solar energy boom, Kaunas Region, Lithuania - ENNEREG Good Practice in Renewable Energy
ENNEREG Good Practice [EN] In Kaunas region, the development of electricity generation from PV installations is based on feed-in tariffs and the expansion of solar-thermal installations on the possibilities for reducing heating costs. The introduction of new feed-in tariffs, coming into force in 2012 initiated a solar energy boom in Kaunas Region and the in whole Lithuania. Though capacities of such PVs are not very high, these pioneer plants make solar energy the match for the rest of renewables. On the other hand, the use of solar energy for generating hot water via solar collectors becomes more and more popular in individual, block residential and public houses, as they reduce heat costs during the non-heating period.

Óbidos Solar Project Oeste, Portugal - ENNEREG Good Practice in Renewable Energy
ENNEREG Good Practice
[EN]
The Óbidos Solar project was launched by the municipality of Óbidos to support its population, especially those of lower economic status, giving them access to new technologies to produce energy (electricity and water heating) from renewable sources. This allows a substantial reduction of the energy costs for water heating and electricity consumption.
To achieve these results, the municipality established a partnership with 9 companies working in the renewable energy area for the supply and installation of the required equipment.

Make your building smile - Renewable energy in buildings
Publication [EN] This publication from the European Commission (2009) covers 25 projects funded by the IEE programme within the Renewable Energy sector. It shows that although buildings are amongst the greatest consumers of energy, they also have the greatest potential to reduce the EU’s conventional energy consumption by combining energy-saving measures with renewable energy sources, the total consumption of conventional energy in buildings can be reduced to zero. Buildings can even become net producers of clean energy since they can be fitted with solar water and space heating and cooling.
