DISCOVER project presented in the City of Kastav

On May 7, 2024, in the Business Incubator KASPI in Kastav, the first in a series of meetings was held with stakeholders from the City of Kastav, to which we presented the DISCOVER project. The City of Kastav is one of the stakeholders of the DISCOVER project, which is being implemented in several pilot regions, and the Association Without Borders is implementing it in Croatia. Through the project, we will provide the City of Kastav – a unit of local self-government, but also citizens, entrepreneurs and other interested parties with the necessary knowledge and information on the topic of Community Energy Projects (CEPs).

The basic information about the DISCOVER project was given by the project manager Davorka Medved. Damir Juričić presented the factors of financial sustainability of energy communities. Damir Medved explained the technical prerequisites for the work of energy communities as well as the technological capabilities of available platforms. Participants asked a number of questions about the topics presented.

Presentation of the DISCOVER project

The introductory meeting was full of information, so it was agreed to organize a continuation in which other interested parties from the City of Kastav will be involved.
