p2h – Renewable Power-to-Heat in Bitola Region

Energy efficiency, Environment, Grants, Projects /

Bitola is about as hard a test case for decarbonisation as exists in North Macedonia — a city whose economy and heating system have both been built around a single coal plant for generations. Showing, with real engineering and financial modelling rather than aspiration, that a renewable alternative is not just possible but economically competitive as carbon pricing extends to heating, gives local and national decision-makers something concrete to act on rather than a slogan to debate.

The project also created a direct link between two separate investments: the €87 million Bitola 3 Solar Power Plant (financed by EBRD and KfW) supplying renewable electricity, and GAUSS’s feasibility study describing exactly how that electricity could heat the city via large-scale heat pumps. That “supply meets demand” bridge — plus the direct transfer of methodology from the 100% Renewables Foundation’s earlier work in Hajnówka, Poland — is precisely the kind of cross-border, replicable outcome the EUKI programme is designed to produce, and positions GAUSS as a credible technical partner for the region’s next phase of energy-transition financing.

Green Inter-e-Mobility – Integration of Green Transport in Cities

Energy efficiency, Environment, Projects, Services /

Municipal electric-vehicle pilots often stall at “we bought the cars” — the harder, less visible part is building a system reliable enough that a city can actually run an on-demand transport service around them, and honest enough to show whether it’s really saving money and emissions or not. By pairing real telemetry with a public booking app and independently reporting the resulting kilometres, costs and emissions, this project gave Bitola and Resen something they could point to as evidence, not just intention.

For the GAUSS Institute, Green Inter-e-Mobility extended its growing portfolio of practical IoT and AI-based systems — building directly on its ITS and communications work in projects like BENEFIT — into full-stack green mobility infrastructure combining renewable energy, vehicle telemetry and public-facing digital services.

BENEFIT

Energy efficiency, Projects /

GAUSS Institute provided consultancy and implementation support within the EU-funded BENEFIT project, “Building ENergy EFficiency ImprovemenT: Demonstration for public buildings,” implemented under the Interreg IPA Cross-Border Cooperation Programme Greece–North Macedonia. Acting as an external support organisation for the Public Enterprise for Urban Planning, Architectural Design and Engineering Bitola, GAUSS assisted with project management, procurement and documentation procedures, reporting, FLC and MIS support, communication activities, technical coordination, energy-efficiency deliverables, Building Energy Efficiency platform testing, pilot retrofit evaluation, training materials, transnational guidelines and new business model inputs. The assignment strengthened public-sector capacity for energy-efficiency planning and contributed to practical project results including public-building mapping, typology analysis, strategic assessment of energy-saving potential, pilot retrofit support and preparation of bankable energy-efficiency projects.
