The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) is pleased to announce the Public Call for subsidizing the installation of solar systems for personal needs on individual housing facilities in the area of the City of Gradiška.
The activity is carried out within the project “Acceleration of the transition to clean energy using the potential of solar energy in Bosnia and Herzegovina” (SolarCET), supported by the Government of the Slovak Republic. The SolarCET project aims to encourage citizens, owners of private and public buildings to use solar panels and collectors, as a measure to support the transition to clean energy, the fight against air pollution and energy poverty, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the number of citizens suffering from respiratory diseases in Bosnia. and Herzegovina.
