In accordance with the National Energy Action Plan from
renewable sources and the Energy Act
from renewable sources, Mayors of Municipalities develop municipal long-term and short-term programs for the use of energy from renewable sources and biofuels.
The programs are adopted by the Municipal Councils, at the proposal of the Mayor of the respective Municipality and cover a period of implementation of three years (for short-term) and ten years (for long-term programs).

Municipal programs need to be in line with the development of the planning region, the features, the potential of the municipality and the current municipal energy efficiency plans.
The main goal of the programs is to promote the use of energy from renewable sources. The implementation of this process is achieved by determining the possible activities, measures and investment intentions of the municipality.
Here to assess the use of renewables by sectors: industrial enterprises, transport, services, households and agriculture.
The target must be measurable and contain a numerical indicator of the change in consumption in the above sectors.
Basics:
- improving the energy management on the territory of the municipality;
- replacement of the fuel base for local heating systems with renewable ones
sources;
- introduction of local renewable energy sources (solar collectors, photovoltaic geothermal sources, use of biomass, including waste processing).

The term "energy efficiency" represents the ratio between the output quantity of productivity, service, good or energy and the amount of energy invested.

The need to improve energy efficiency is one of the main priorities of any government.

Countries have a significant potential for implementing energy efficiency measures. Increasing energy efficiency will help reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases and, accordingly, help prevent climate change.

One of the measures the government has taken to increase energy efficiency is the Energy Efficiency Act. It introduces the requirements of Directive 2006/32 / EC and regulates public relations related to the implementation of the state policy for increasing energy efficiency in final energy consumption and the provision of energy services.

The purpose of the Law is to give a clearer definition of energy efficiency as a national priority in the implementation of state policy in this area, a clearer definition of the commitments and support of the state for its development, to create institutional, regulatory and financial conditions for the implementation of national policy as a prerequisite for successful integration with the European Union.

Based on Directive 2006/32 / EC and the Energy Efficiency Act, National Energy Efficiency Action Plans are being developed.

The Energy Efficiency Act establishes the Energy Efficiency and Renewable Sources Fund. The main goal of the Fund is the management of financial resources provided for investment projects for energy efficiency development, in accordance with the priorities set in the annual energy efficiency programs adopted by the Council of Ministers.

The priorities for promoting the use of energy from renewable sources are determined depending on the strategic goals and the policy for development of the municipality - achieving a competitive, dynamic and profitable local economy, improving the standard of living of the municipality.
the population on the territory of the municipality and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions as elements of the policy for sustainable energy development.
The preparation takes into account the possibilities of the municipality in other areas and the resulting measures and guidelines related to the utilization of energy from renewable sources. The main line that should be
reported in the preparation of programs is a combination of measures to increase energy efficiency with the production and consumption of energy from renewable sources.

An analysis of the potential of energy from renewable sources, which are available as a natural resource on the territory of the municipality, should be used as a basis for the preparation of the programs.
1. Solar energy - Depending on the region in which the site is located, the intensity of solar sunshine is determined and what is the average annual amount of solar radiation per unit horizontal surface (kWh / m 2
2. Wind energy - The criteria on the basis of which the energy potential is assessed are the average monthly wind speed - V (m / s), 10 m above the surface and
energy flux density (W / m 2).
3. Hydropower - The energy potential of the water resource used for the production of electricity from hydropower is highly dependent on seasonal and climatic conditions.
The assessment of the resource is reduced to determining the water quantities (m3 / s).
4. Geothermal energy - Geothermal energy includes: the heat of thermal waters, water vapor, heated rocks located at greater depths. The energy potential of the thermal waters is determined by the utilized flow rate and the realized temperature difference (cooling) of the water.
5. Biomass energy:
5.1. The use of biomass from the forestry and related industries - data on the extraction, utilization and potential of the wood obtained from sanitary felling on the territory of the municipality.
5.2. Use of biomass from agriculture by sectors - agriculture and animal husbandry.
5.3. Use of biomass from the fishery and the production of aquaculture on the territory of the municipality.
5.4. Use of biomass from industry.
5.5. Use of biomass from household waste.
5.6. Use of other types of biomass.
6. Use of biofuels in transport
7. Use of energy from renewable sources in transport.

It depends on the right choice of measures, activities and subsequent projects
their successful and effective implementation. When choosing it is necessary to be
taken into account:
- accessibility of the selected measures and activities;
- level of accuracy in determining the necessary investments;
- tracking the results;
- control of the invested funds.

The program should reflect the availability and opportunities for
combining measures for the utilization of energy from renewable sources with those aimed at increasing energy efficiency.
- Measures for use of energy from renewable sources and energy efficiency measures in the implementation of projects for reconstruction, major renovation, overhaul or reconstruction of buildings;
- Construction of energy sites for production of energy from renewable sources on the roof structures of buildings;
- Replacement of municipal transport using conventional fuels with transport using biofuels in compliance with the criteria for sustainability and / or energy from renewable sources;
- Measures for use of energy from renewable sources in construction and reconstruction of street lighting networks on the territory of the municipality;
- Measures for the use of energy from renewable sources in the construction and reconstruction of park, decorative and facade lighting.

Top-down approach:
consists in an analysis of the existing legal framework for the formation of the municipal budget, as well as the trends in its development. In this approach, the following actions are performed:
- forecasting of the municipal budget for the period of validity of the program;
- review of the expectations for changes in the national and municipal tax policy and their impact on the revenues of the municipality and study of the expectations for extra-budgetary revenues of the municipality;
- use of specialized sources such as: operational programs, credit lines for energy efficiency and renewable energy (EBRD), Energy Efficiency and Renewable Sources Fund, National Scheme for
green investments (National Trust Fund), Kozloduy International Fund, guaranteed results contracts (ESCO contracts or third party financing).
Bottom-up approach: based on comprehensive assessments of the municipality's ability to provide an individual threshold for its financial resources (for example: a resident of the municipality, a student at school, a patient in the hospital, etc.) or a public-private partnership .
The combination of these two approaches may lead to a pre-determination of the financial framework of the program).
