The Kindergarten in Horesti, Ialoveni, gave up the old natural gas heating system and switched to clean energy. From the current autumn, the heat in the institution will be provided by biomass, and hot water – by solar energy.  Over 230 children and 30 employees will benefit of better conditions. The investment was possible thanks to the financial support of the European Union provided by the Energy and Biomass Project, implemented by the United Nations Development Program.

The idea was born out of the problem faced by the people in their village – Falestii-Noi, Falesti district. None of the three bus stops is …
