Swiss Contribution

The Swiss development association Umwelt- und Energiezentrum Tuzla has 10 years of experience with professional und financial support in East Euro-pean projects.

Description

The project aims to increase the solar energy’s use for hot water production in the region Tuzla. Practical production and installation of 10 solar panels for one-family homes are planned. The project will introduce local firms to the solar thermal market. Interested private people will be simultaneously supported to realize their solar panels (self-construction und purchase). Local artisans and the technical school’s teaching staff will be trained. At the same time the Umwelt- und Energiezentrum Tuzla (UETZT) will launch an advertising campaign, in order to inform about the use of solar energy for hot water.
