General information

Description of the project

The project is aimed at providing educational institutions with alternative energy sources (including the installation of solar power plants, backup power systems, and electricity storage devices) in order to increase energy independence, ensure the uninterrupted functioning of the educational process in the event of possible power outages, reduce energy costs, and implement the principles of energy efficiency and sustainable development.

The purpose of the project

Main goal:

Introducing innovations and energy-efficient solutions

Secondary goal:

Contribution to climate or environmental goals

Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it

Project goal. The project goal is to increase the energy independence of educational institutions and ensure the uninterrupted functioning of the educational process by introducing alternative energy sources. The project implementation is aimed at creating safe and comfortable conditions for students and employees, guaranteeing stable power supply during emergency and planned outages, reducing budget costs for energy payments, as well as introducing the principles of energy efficiency and sustainable development into the activities of educational institutions in the community. Method of achieving the goal. The goal is to be achieved by conducting an energy survey of facilities, developing appropriate design and estimate documentation, purchasing and installing solar power plants, electricity storage systems and backup power supply with subsequent integration of equipment into the internal power grids of educational institutions. After installation, it is planned to carry out commissioning work, put the systems into operation and organize proper maintenance, which will ensure long-term energy efficiency, save budget funds and increase the level of energy security of the community.

Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation

Today, community educational institutions are completely dependent on centralized power supply, which creates risks of interruption of the educational process in the event of emergency or planned power outages. The lack of alternative power sources makes it impossible to ensure stable operation of lighting, computer equipment, heating systems (if there are electrical components), shelters, food units and communication facilities. In addition, the increase in the cost of energy carriers leads to an increase in the burden on the local budget, and the use of exclusively traditional energy sources does not meet modern requirements for energy efficiency and environmental safety. As a result of the project, the implementation of alternative energy sources and electricity storage systems will be ensured, which will guarantee the uninterrupted functioning of educational institutions even during periods of power outages. It is expected to reduce electricity costs, increase energy security, create appropriate conditions for organizing the educational process and the stay of participants in the educational process, as well as reduce the environmental load through the use of renewable energy sources.
