The Eco-Energetica Week started on December 1 with the Fair of Eco-Responsible Ideas where the participants in the Moldova Eco-Energetica competition, who passed the selection stages, will auction their project ideas before potential sponsors, donors and creditors. In a press release, the Energy Efficiency Agency says that this year the project ideas vary from systems for heating greenhouses with compost from agricultural waste and the construction of biogas-fueled cogeneration plants  to information systems for managing street lighting, IPN reports.

The most successful projects will get financing from the investors attending the event such as banks, investment funds and development partners. The companies that will convince the investors of the project’s feasibility will be able to obtain state-guaranteed loans in advantageous conditions. The winners of the Fair of Eco-Responsible Ideas will be announced in the Moldova Eco-Energetica Gala on December 4.
