The city of Bjelovar received funds from the EEA and Norwegian grants from the “Energy and Climate Change” program.

The EEA financial mechanism and the Norwegian financial mechanism contribute to the reduction of social and economic differences within Europe and strengthen bilateral cooperation between the donor countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and the Republic of Croatia. The city of Bjelovar submitted a project for the use of geothermal energy in the area of Veliki Korenovo – Korenovo GT-1, and obtained grants for the preparation of technical documentation. The city is a beneficiary of the project with partners EFLA Consulting Engineers from Iceland and Terme Bjelovar. The total value of the project is €309.320,04, of which €258.251,29 are grants. The project will be implemented from May 24, 2022 to April 30, 2024.

which will be attended by the Mayor Dario Hrebak with partners and collaborators on the project. After the conference, a tour of the well location is planned: https://goo.gl/maps/mS1WydtVPgGP1imC6

After the documentation has been created, the construction of the well will be started with the installed capacity for the production of geothermal energy. The goal of the project is to increase energy production from renewable sources, reduce CO2 emissions and increase security of supply. The purpose of the project is the production of energy with lower carbon emissions and increased security of supply through the preparation of technical documentation that is necessary to reach the stage of well construction and exploitation/production of geothermal energy.
