The proposed project aims to promote an investment in clean energy and energy efficiency in order to ensure the contribution to the objectives of the Europe 2020 strategy. The general objective is to increase the installed heat and electricity generation power from less exploited renewable resources, i.e. biomass, in Tirlisua commune, thus contributing to the achievement of the result indicator and the target provided in LIOP, 2S53. Gross production of primary energy from renewable sources less used in the proposed project is 83.9 toe/year, thus increasing the share of renewable energy in total primary energy consumption. The calculation was based on the energy conversion formula, 1 MWh = 0.086 toe. The investment results in a new production capacity in cogeneration, by modernising the existing heat generation and distribution system (individual thermal power plants and thermal network for the city hall and sports hall) and adding the component of electricity production, thus contributing to the specific objectives of LIOP and priority axis 6. Following the project in the commune will move from the individual production of thermal energy at building level, to the production in one unit from which it is transported and distributed to all buildings (one user – commune, with several buildings). Following the implementation of the project, the following results will be obtained: 1. A unit for the production of heat and electricity in cogeneration from biomass, with an installed capacity of 0.561 MW 2. a transmission and distribution network of energy produced by the centralised unit, with a total length of 610 m Project indicators are: CO34 – greenhouse gas reduction: the estimated annual decrease of greenhouse gases is 216.47 tonnes CO2 CO30 – the additional renewable energy production capacity is 0.561 MW (0,500 MW thermal + 0.061 MW electric). The new production capacity provided in the project will contribute 83.9 toe/year to the national target established by the NAPEER in terms of gross production of primary energy from less exploited renewable sources, i.e. biomass (programme indicator 2S53).
