Kindergartens in Georgia’s Khoni and Tkibuli municipalities can now enjoy hot water thanks to a "People in Need” solar power project in Georgia, financed by the European Union (EU) and the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Solar water heaters and upgraded facilities in kindergartens, free-of-charge laundry facilities and cultural centres for the elderly are just some of the achievements of the "People in Need” project in Georgia.
Thanks to the project, the municipalities’ kindergartens long-standing problems with heating have been addressed. Priority has been given to rural kindergartens, where facilities have been upgraded...We have also supported the idea of solving problems in an innovative way. In some kindergartens, solar collectors have been installed. As a result, all year round, the kindergartens will enjoy hot water supply” said Teona Purstkhvanidze, social project coordinator at "People in Need”.
The mission of "People in Need” started in 2006 in Georgia.
A video released by the EU Delegation to Georgia shows the results of the project.
Local company studies Georgia’s solar potential
Georgia is investigating the potential to power the country with solar energy, reduce its dependence on finite resources and offer a renewable energy solution to the thousands of people in Georgia who continue to live without electricity.
A new solar energy generation system will begin operating at Tbilisi International Airport today. The system will generate 40 percent of electricity the airport consumes.
People living in Georgia’s third largest city Kutaisi can now charge their mobile phones, laptops and other electrical devices while enjoying the outdoors at the city’s first energy efficient park.
Georgia’s capital Tbilisi is enjoying its first energy efficient kindergarten.
About 15 public schools in Georgia will be turned into more energy-efficient buildings through a pilot project that introduces energy-saving solutions for schools.
A number of public buildings in Georgia will soon benefit from more energy-efficient infrastructure thanks to a new grant agreement that was signed today between the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO) and Georgia’s Ministry of Finance.
