On Friday, 27 September 2024, a conference of the ECOSTEAM project from the ERASMUS+ programme was held. The City of Rijeka, one of the project partners, has invited us to present the DISCOVER project to the conference participants.

The conference was followed in Rijeka by students and teachers of the Secondary School of Electrical Engineering and Computing who are themselves participants in this project. Objective of the project ECOSTEAM to bring European/global environmental policies, ways of managing water, waste, energy and transport in cities, data and tools in the service of combating climate change closer to secondary school students. High school students from Rijeka are involved in the energy project.

The topics of photovoltaic power plants and community energy projects dealt with by the DISCOVER project are significant for the activities carried out on the ECOSTEAM project.

The City of Rijeka supported the Association Without Borders with a letter of intent when applying the DISCOVER Project. Intensification of cooperation on the DISCOVER project is expected in the coming period.

After the presentation of the ECOSTEAM and DISCOVER project, through the Zoom platform, participants joined the international GREENREPORT conference held in Florence, Italy.

DISCOVER presented in Kastav

Kastav Smart City Conference was held last week in Kastav, as part of which we presented the DISCOVER project to citizens on September 24, 2024.

DISCOVER is entering its implementation phase, after the implementation documents have been prepared in the first part of the project, we are now starting with concrete activities in interested cities and municipalities. The first is Kastav, but the neighboring Opatija, Matulji and of course Rijeka, Delnice, Jelenja, Cres and all who show interest in this topic follow.

The Energy Community of the North Adriatic

Association Without Borders is a member of the North Adriatic Energy Community, which recently received a license from the regulatory agency HERA. Damir Juričić, President of the ECSJ presented the process of establishing an energy community.

Damir Medved explained the importance and technical aspects of data collection and process optimization in energy communities.

Citizens interested in investing in photovoltaic power plants also need to be informed about the topic of energy communities. By joining communities, they can exchange energy surpluses with neighbours, local governments and entrepreneurs.

The DISCOVER project was presented at the City Hall as part of the Kastav Smart City conference on September 24th

DISCOVER project presented on Cres

Yesterday, in the Italian Community in Cres, a lecture was held for citizens on the topic of energy communities. Namely, the LIFE ISLET project, whose partners are the Island Movement and the City of Cres, aims to educate the local population and establish an energy community in our area in order to provide multiple benefits to the owners of solar power plants.

The lecture was opened by Dr. Ugo Toić with a short presentation of the LIFE ISLET project, and then by mr. Ivan Zoković from the Island Movement explained the differences between individual legal definitions of energy communities in Croatia and the EU. In addition, mrs. Davorka and mr. Damir Medved presented the DISCOVER project within which an energy community is established in Rijeka. We are sure that this topic will become very important and that in the future more and more islanders will become involved in energy communities.
