Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

TThe project envisages increasing energy efficiency by installing a photovoltaic system for own consumption and purchasing an electric vehicle, including a connected charging station for the needs of the “Day Center for Children and/or Adults with Disabilities” - Vetren, Septemvri Municipality.
The project proposal includes two activities:
Activity 1 - Installation of a photovoltaic system with a capacity of 30 kW for the needs of the “Day Center for Children and/or Adults with Disabilities” - Vetren, Septemvri Municipality, intended for own electricity consumption. The measure is aimed at the Social Welfare Service, an activity delegated by the state, which provides basic support to vulnerable groups for social services under Art. 15 of the Social Welfare Service Act. The implementation of the measure will increase energy efficiency and reduce energy dependence. This measure aims to achieve at least a 30% reduction in the annual consumption of primary energy from non-renewable sources in the site where the system will be installed.
Activity 2 – Purchase of an electric vehicle and a connected charging station for the purposes of providing the social service in the “Day Center for Children and/or Adults with Disabilities” - Vetren. The measure responds to the need to modernize and decarbonize the vehicle fleet used in the provision of social services by the Municipality of Septemvri. The measure is of particular importance in view of the growing mobility needs in the social sphere, especially in the context of deinstitutionalization and the transition to services provided in the community and in a home environment. Replacing the old diesel vehicle with an electric vehicle will lead to a significant reduction in carbon emissions, as well as savings on fuel and maintenance. The vehicle will meet the requirements of Regulation No. H-21 of 2023, which introduces the requirements of Directive (EU) 2019/1161 on the promotion of clean vehicles into Bulgarian legislation.
