Dana 14.08.2025. godine, Privredna komora Zeničko-dobojskog kantona organizirala je „2. Info dan“ u okviru međunarodnog projekta LEEWAY – LEading coopEration toWArds energy communities policies tackling energy povertY.

Događaj je okupio predstavnike pravnih subjekata koje je Komora identificirala kao potencijalne stakeholdere u projektu, a koji se u svojim djelatnostima bave pitanjima energetske efikasnosti i obnovljivih izvora energije. Poseban fokus bio je na konceptu Zajednica obnovljive energije (REC), gdje ovi subjekti mogu ostvariti konkretne stručne, administrativne i tehničke benefite kroz projektne aktivnosti.

Prezentacija ključnih informacija i projektnih inicijativa

Tokom događaja, prisutnima su predstavljene najznačajnije informacije s 4. sastanka projektnih partnera, održanog u Katovicama (Republika Poljska), s posebnim naglaskom na:

• instrumente politika za promociju obnovljivih izvora energije,

• dobre prakse i primjere iz partnerskih zemalja.

Privredna komora ZDK tom prilikom je predstavila dvije ključne inicijative koje je pokrenula u prethodnom periodu, a koje su od velikog značaja za energetsku tranziciju u ZDK:

1. 1. Izrada strateškog dokumenta: „Potencijali obnovljivih izvora energije na području Zeničko-dobojskog kantona“;

2. 2. Rješavanje pravnih i tehničkih prepreka koje ometaju uspostavljanje Zajednica obnovljive energije (REC) na području kantona.

Obje inicijative predstavljene su i na sastanku u Poljskoj, kao i učesnicima 2. Info dana.

O projektu LEEWAY

Projekt LEEWAY ima za cilj potaknuti usvajanje politika koje podržavaju razvoj Zajednica obnovljive energije (REC) u evropskim regijama, kroz:

• razmjenu iskustava među javnim vlastima različitih nivoa,

• međuregionalnu saradnju i prijenos znanja.

Projekt se finansira putem programa Interreg Europe 2021–2027, koji omogućava saradnju među evropskim regijama s ciljem jačanja zajedničkog regionalnog razvoja.

Vodeći partner projekta je agencija SIPRO iz Italije, a u projektu učestvuje 9 partnera iz 7 evropskih zemalja, uključujući Privrednu komoru Zeničko-dobojskog kantona kao partnera i predstavnika Bosne i Hercegovine.

2ND INFO DAY HELD UNDER THE LEEWAY PROJECT

On August 14th, 2025, the Chamber of Economy of Zenica-Doboj Canton organized the 2nd Info Day within the framework of the international project LEEWAY – LEading coopEration toWArds energy communities policies tackling energy povertY.

The event gathered representatives of legal entities identified by the Chamber as potential stakeholders in the project. These entities are engaged in activities related to energy efficiency and Renewable Energy Communities (REC), and are expected to gain specific technical, administrative, and professional benefits from the project.

Key Updates and Strategic Initiatives

Participants were presented with key insights from the 4th partner meeting of the LEEWAY project, held in Katowice, Poland, with a particular focus on:

• policy instruments for the promotion of renewable energy,

• good practices and examples from participating regions.

The Chamber of Economy of ZDK also presented two strategic initiatives launched in the previous period, both crucial for advancing energy transition in Zenica-Doboj Canton:

1. 1. Development of a strategic document titled: "Potential of Renewable Energy Sources in the Zenica-Doboj Canton";

2. 2. Addressing legal and technical barriers hindering the establishment of Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) in the region.

Both initiatives were previously presented at the Katowice meeting and were shared with the attendees of the Info Day.

About the LEEWAY Project

The LEEWAY project aims to encourage the adoption of energy policies that support the establishment of Renewable Energy Communities (REC) across participating European regions, through:

• exchange of experience among public authorities at different levels,

• interregional cooperation and knowledge transfer.

The project is funded by the Interreg Europe Programme 2021–2027, a financial instrument that supports interregional cooperation among EU Member States, allowing regional and local actors to share and transfer knowledge on common regional development issues.

The lead partner of the LEEWAY project is SIPRO Development Agency from Italy, with a total of 9 project partners from 7 European countries, including the Chamber of Economy of Zenica-Doboj Canton as the representative from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
