Krosno municipality leaps into enabling renewable energy and prosumerism

Krosno municipality is located in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship in South-Eastern Poland. Even though smaller in size, the municipality already takes on various initiatives to decarbonise the energy system. The municipality is very active in developing low-emission district heating, primarily based on biomass. Furthermore, Krosno has been characterised as a regional leader in waste-to-energy technology for its utilization of non-recyclable waste. These concrete examples highlight the commitment to fostering resilient fossil-free energy systems within the municipal boundaries. The Enercracy project will support the improvement of the Municipal Adaptation Plan, particularly focusing on:
– Enabling energy clusters development,
– Reducing energy consumption,
– Developing the blue-green infrastructure,
– Developing more resilient renewable energy infrastructures,
– Improving local air quality by reducing emissions. 

Subsequently, these and other elements of the climate and energy planning will be addressed within a diverse group of practitioners and local representatives. Follow the journey of the Krosno municipalities in developing the Municipal Adaptation Plan! 

As the Enercracy project moves into its second year, the theoretical becomes practical. During the next twelve months, the knowledge compiled in the Draft Model Catalogue of Measures for Energy Plans will be actively used to develop or update municipal climate and energy plans to enable energy communities and prosumerism, as well as to upscale the use of renewable energy. This article series highlights each municipality participating in piloting the Catalogue to enable local energy democracies. Krosno municipality, together with the Rzeszów Regional Development Agency and the Polish National Work Group, developed within the Enercracy project, is responsible for developing the Krosno Adaptation Plan.
