These include policy drivers, assessing what renewable technologies it will employ, identifying the rates and pricing incentives that could be made available, and how customers can be better engaged. Utilities have created renewable programs with varying degrees of customer participation: some have taken the initiative to provide customers with 100% renewable generated power, others rely exclusively on customers to participate to meet renewable energy goals and the last alternative is a blend of both in which utilities offer customers the option to purchase renewable power matches or install and generate their own renewable power. Overall, the economics of solar and wind technologies are trending in the upward direction—the costs of the technologies are decreasing and the yields are getting higher. Better still, predictive modeling, energy storage and the plethora of research in this area will only make the prospects of integrating renewables more viable.展开更多

An increase of the actually harvested quantities of wood is possible and it may rise up to 8-10 Mio m^3. The volume of forestry waste is 1,066,900 m^3, incl. economically accessible forestry waste are 373,400 m^3. Every year, there are about 3.0 Mio m^3 of wood which are obtained by the wood category, being 2.5 Mio m^3 of that same one used by the population as fire wood for stoves about 40% efficiency. In that connection, a map has been elaborated of the economically accessible forest-wood waste from the wood harvesting. Taking into account the data on the share of that wood, is considered capable for energy production, as well as the fact that a part of fire wood shall not be used in the conventional way but shall be processed, instead, that is to say, transformed into chips, pellets and briquettes, a map of category of woods has been made for the purposes and needs of this elaboration. There are some reserves as regards to thinning operations where small- and medium-sized wood is harvested and from temporarily inaccessible forest exploitation basins or the so called ＂closed basins＂ should arrive to. This paper proposes the most promising technologies for waste processing and transformation into chips, which could be applicable in Bulgaria and in some other countries as well.展开更多
