The Slovenian municipality of Kobarid is eyeing an uptake in renewable energy self-supply to ensure environmental sustainability that would, in turn, foster tourism development in the town immortalized in Ernest Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms.
Kobarid, Slovenia’s westernmost municipality, is looking to gradually achieve energy self-sufficiency with the aim of surpassing the EU’s target of a 32% share of renewable energy sources in gross energy consumption for 2030, mainly through the installation of rooftop solar power plants and heat pumps, according to Mayor Marko Matajurc, Primorske Novice reported.
This would create savings for both the municipality and its citizens and ensure environmental sustainability, which would in turn foster tourism development in the municipality, situated in the Julian Alps close to the border with Italy, said Matajurc.
The municipality of Kobarid is now seeking partners to help it in the endeavor, and Slovenian blockchain-powered energy trading platform SunContract with solar power system supplier Sonce Energija could be one of them.
