Project Objectives
The objective of the project is the development of local renewable energy sources by the Słupsk Bioenergy Cluster, in accordance with the implemented RED II Directive, with a particular emphasis on the role of local government units (LGUs) forming such local energy communities. The implementation of the project should contribute to a more sustainable development of renewable energy at the local level, specifically through better planning of RES development and adapting this process to local conditions and needs.
The project also aims to promote local initiatives such as energy clusters, energy cooperatives, or collective/virtual prosumers, which have the potential to play a significant role in the Polish energy transition.
Ultimate goal of the project: The activities covered by the project are to lead to the creation of the “Słupsk Energy Island,” which will ensure energy independence, lower energy costs for Cluster members, and significantly reduce emissions by utilizing local bioenergy resources.
Expected benefits from the implementation of the investment:
- Preparing the Słupsk Bioenergy Cluster for full energy transition and investment execution.
- Developing the Development Concept of the SKB Cluster, including the preparation of a strategic document, analysis of the local RES potential, and a foundation for investments.
- Conducting conceptual activities with partners, including building a cooperation model between the coordinator of the SKB Cluster and the partners, preparing technical documentation for specific installations, and developing the competences of the SKB Cluster in energy management, which will enable a smooth transition to the execution phase (under the investment part of the KPO).
The implementation of the project “Developing Energy Competences of the Słupsk Bioenergy Cluster” takes place in the following two stages:
Stage I of the project:
Phase I of the project is implemented by “Wodociągi Słupsk” Sp. z o.o. as the Final Beneficiary of Support (OOW), without the participation of partners.
