The Mielno commune, as the first local government in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship, started a large public-private partnership project with EU funding, i.e. hybrid project.

As part of the partnership with the Mielno Commune, the private partner (IZIM company belonging to the BaltCap Infrastructure Fund) will carry out renovation works and then will be responsible for the maintenance of the buildings.

The contract will run for 8 years. Co-financing in the amount of PLN 7.4 million from the Regional Operational Program of the West Pomeranian Voivodeship is the largest subsidy from the EU in the history of the Mielno Commune.

As part of the project, 4 public buildings will be rebuilt or modified, including two schools. The works will include insulation of walls, replacement of windows and modernization of heating installations.

The facilities will be equipped with energy-saving LED lighting and photovoltaic panels, which will significantly reduce electricity bills. Additionally, the project will implement a remote energy management system that will enable 24/7 management, control and monitoring of heat and electricity consumption in the facilities.

The investment is to reduce electricity consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by 70%.
