With this project proposal, the company ELIT TRACK LTD is applying to receive financial support for energy-efficient equipment and the use of energy from renewable sources, which will help the company maintain its competitiveness, as well as continue with its investment intentions in technological modernization. The significant increase in the price of electricity and energy carriers as a whole, observed over the last 5 years, disrupts the functioning of almost all economic activities, and in the manufacturing sector, the impact of price increases is decisive for competitiveness. The implementation of specific measures in the field of energy transition is important not only from the perspective of preventing climate change, but also to reduce Bulgaria's vulnerability to fluctuations in fossil fuel prices. Industrial consumers are facing the prospect of higher energy bills at a time when this could impact their recovery and growth following the COVID pandemic and the war in Ukraine. The expected results for ELIT TRACK LTD from the support under the procedure are expressed in improving energy efficiency and the use of energy from renewable sources for its own needs, through the use of photovoltaic panels for energy accumulation and storage in local storage facilities. Another economic and also energy benefit for the company is the use of batteries for energy storage, as facilities to be used for energy power during power outages and smooth shutdown and subsequent restart of production machines, eliminating risks of machine and equipment failures. This will contribute to increasing the energy autonomy of the enterprise, its competitiveness and reducing the energy intensity of a manufacturing enterprise in the chemical processing sector.
