The main impetus for this report (and
for the reports prepared for the other six growth poles) is
a request received from the Ministry of Regional Development
and Public Administration. The request came within the
context of on-going preparations for the 2014-2020
Programming period, with Energy Efficiency being one the
major themes of the Europe 2020 strategy, and a critical
priority for all EU Member Countries. Within Romania, local
authorities that will want to access energy efficiency funds
under the 2014-2020 Regional Operational Program will need
to first prepare energy efficiency strategies. The TRACE
tool is specifically targeted at local authorities, and is a
good instrument for drafting such strategies. After the 1989
Revolution, Romania began its transition from a centralized
system to a market-based economy. Today the country is a
member of the European Union (EU) and NATO. After more than
a decade of economic restructuring and political change, the
country has taken significant steps toward catching up with
the economic performance of more developed EU countries.
Although radical reforms brought about significant changes
in recent years, the standard of living of Romanians is
still behind the EU average. The transition period after the
end of the communist regime has led to significant changes
in the social and economic life of the residents of Craiova.
Some of these developments have positively affected
people's life, whereas a few came along with
inconveniences and difficulties. During the first years of
transition the city attracted people from parts of Dolj
County and from elsewhere in Romania. This process led to
severe de-population in the rural areas of Dolj County. At
the same time, due to economic constraints, some of the
urban population of Craiova moved to the wider metropolitan
area. Like every other city in the country, municipal
buildings in Craiova require proper measures toward
improving energy efficiency - particularly in health care
and education facilities managed by the city government. A
benchmarking of the municipal building stock, along with
audit and retrofit measures, should be performed in order to
identify the highest energy savings potential and proper
intervention measures. As for the water sector, although the
system covers the entire city and most of the households in
Craiova have water meters, there are high losses in the
network. In addition, in order to improve the overall
efficiency of the water system, oversized pumps needs to be
replaced with smaller, energy-efficient ones. Finally,
although selective collection has been implemented in
Craiova, there is more that can be done about improving
recycling rates. |
