The implementation of the Project "Energy Efficiency and Thermal Insulation of Public Institutions in Chisinau" began two years ago and provides for the renovation and energy efficiency of 23 objectives - 6 kindergartens, 14 high schools and 3 municipal hospitals.

Public institutions have been selected from over 300 targets that generate losses to the municipal budget, through the inefficient use of annual financial allocations for consumption and payment of maintenance bills.
