For whom?
The Low-Emission Economy Plan is a local document indicating the municipality’s plans in terms of rational management of energy in the given region.
The LEEP places significant emphasis on activities relating to the improvement of air quality.
An important element of analysis in the LEEP is the complexity of solutions and indicating a model role of the self government in aiming at executing low-emission and resource-saving investments, as well as through education and promotion of core issues, encouraging each energy use to shift to pro-ecological behaviour.
The LEEP demonstrates the current status in the municipality, in particular the level of energy consumption and the level of emission of contaminations into the air in the given municipality.
In the Plan, the municipality defines the goals and manner to achieve them by 2020. In particular, the Plan defines:
- The level, to which greenhouse gas will be reduced, in particular carbon dioxide, CO2
- How to limit energy use of all recipients
- How to increase the use of renewable energy sources
- The level of reported exceeded concentrations of air contaminations and manners to reduce them
The LEEP includes a list of local investments, which the municipality plans to execute, or assist other municipality stakeholders. Therefore, the LEEP provides for the manner of engagement in the activities of the participants on the local energy market, so called stakeholders, meaning residents, local public entities, entrepreneurs, energy companies, housing cooperatives and management organizations etc.
LEEP implementation may bring measurable benefits. Through the execution of investments indicated in the document, the municipality may create possibilities of local improvement of air quality, enable larger comfort of life of residents, reduce energy consumption in own public utility buildings and, therefore, decrease energy bills and invest saved funds in other activities.
The LEEP is also an important local document for municipalities, which are planning an increase in investments in the coming years, including in the context of use of 2014-2020 EU funds. In case of some activities within axis I of the 2014-2020 Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment (OPI&E), Regional Operational Programmes (ROP) and national funds, a condition to obtain additional financing for new investment is implementation of a low-emission economy plan which indicates the need to perform such activities.
What do you gain?
We are here to help - it will not cost you anything!
Within this Project, we support municipalities across the country in the preparation, implementation and monitoring the activities planned within the scope of the LEEP as well as updates, meaning on all stages.
The Energy Adviser will help the municipality in drawing up LEEP assumptions, by way of verifying the provisions of the document, during the implementation of the investment, and the manner of monitoring progress. Advisers offer continuous support both in the form of individual consultations and group training.
In case of a positive verification of the document by The National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management [Narodowy Fundusz Ochrony Środowiska i Gospodarki Wodnej, NFOŚiGW) or Partner, a certificate is issued to help the municipality and its stakeholders in obtaining funds for new environment-friendly investments, in particular financed with EU funds.
