Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

The project aims to support the achievement of energy efficiency, reduction of the carbon footprint, and modernization of the social infrastructure on the territory of Sofia Municipality.
The project includes two main activities:
- Installation of photovoltaic systems in five existing social service facilities, delegated by the state in Sofia Municipality;
- Procurement of an electric vehicle with charging station
The photovoltaic systems will be used to cover the electricity needs of the respective social services. As a result of the implemented activities, a reduction of at least 30% in the consumption of primary energy from non-renewable sources will be achieved at the locations where the systems are installed.
The electric vehicle will be used for the needs of social services delegated by the state, providing mobility for service users and ensuring equal access to various educational, healthcare, therapeutic, sports institutions and services, as well as participation in cultural, social events and activities. The modernization of the vehicle fleet will result in reduced carbon emissions, lower fuel and maintenance costs, and a significant improvement in the quality of life of social service users.
The project implementation will contribute to improving the social infrastructure and delivering high-quality social services.
The proposed investment complies with the objectives of the REPowerEU chapter of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan and is aimed at achieving long-term energy sustainability and decarbonization of the social services infrastructure.
