PROJECT PARTNERS

5PROJECT OBJECTIVES

1. Increasing investments in decentralized renewable energy (RE) power generation

2. Setting up an enabling environment for attracting investments in grid-connected power generation by

RE sources

3. Monitoring and quality control for RE-based decentralized power generation

The project’s objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the removal of barriers to

widespread application of decentralized renewable energy power generation
