Medjimurje Energy Agency Ltd., MENEA, is participating as a partner in Project RURES, which has been approved for financing through the Interreg Central Europe program.

The aim of the project is to develop the integration of solar thermal energy in district heating systems. In the region, the potential is very significant: indeed, from 400 000 m² to 1 600 000 m² of solar thermal collectors could be integrated into district heating systems.

Energy transition is a new concept that we use to say - switch to clean energy, smart and responsible energy management. In practice, this means - use of renewable energy sources and significantly improved energy efficiency.

Energy performance contracting is mostly found in the public sector and to a lesser extent in the industrial and commercial building sectors. For this reason, EPC+ set out to experiment the application of this model to SMEs and the results are promising.
