More efficient public lighting in Karlovac, Croatia, thanks to Smart Energy Performance Contracting

In September 2023, the city of Karlovac has signed its Energy Performance Contract (EPC) for the refurbishment of the public lighting. The scope of the contract is the refurbishment of overall public lighting, consisting of 9.083 luminaires and the displacement of 152 public lighting cabinets that are placed inside the DSO transformer station.

Smart EPC developed standardised contract and tender documentation for public lighting

When incorporating additional energy and non-energy related services into the Smart EPC approach, the complexity of standard EPC projects is further highlighted. These projects involve the realisation of various types of investments under a single contract, posing challenges in accounting, financing, and legal aspects.  

Poland issues national guidelines for EPC contracts: a step towards enhanced energy efficiency

This move is a part of Poland’s strategic energy policy, aiming for a more sustainable and efficient energy use across the country, and reinforcing the nation’s commitment to energy efficiency and climate goals.
