Renewable Energy in the Area of Natura 2000 in the Suski Poviat
Project completed
Since December 2012, the regional hospital of the Suski district has been receiving its hot water thanks to solar energy. ©
SECO
In the Suski district, private households account for an important share of environmentally harmful emissions. Some 60% of these emissions stem from coal based devices used by households for heating and domestic hot water production. Through the installation of solar systems, the project aims at improving air quality in valuable nature reserves by reducing emissions from mostly coal based water heating systems of private households and the regional hospital in the Suski district.

| Background |
The Suski district is home to an important variety of flora and fauna that is protected by five Natura 2000 sites. Since there are no significant industrial premises located in the region, private households account for an important share of the overall polluting emission in the area. Due to dispersed settlements, there are no central heating installations and most households have coal based heating devices. |
