Interest in this type of education is great, since soon old buildings that are to be sold or rented, not to mention all new buildings, will have to have an energy certificate.

Several institutions already offer courses to educate energy certifiers and just recently an interest group was established.The Croatian Association of Energy Certifiers (CAEC) promotes, develops and enhances energy efficiency and the usage of renewable energy sources through education, promotion and the implementation of energy certification in the building sector. The association aims to be a central place for the networking of providers of energy efficiency services and those who need them.

One of the biggest opportunities for new energy certifiers will be the obligation of public buildings with an area larger than 1000 square metres to receive energy certification until July 2012. It is expected that the limit according to the EPBD Recast will soon be lowered. Currently, energy certification can be done by civil, electrical and mechanical engineers and architects with more than five years of experience and the official certificate are issued by the Ministry of Architecture.

Premier Power has agreed a joint venture with Plaan Czech to develop solar photovoltaic projects throughout the Czech Republic. Both companies will act as codevelopers of all the projects.
The first 3 MW out of the projects will be built soon and is expected to be completed by July 2010. The projects are a 2-MW and a 1-MW power plant in municipalities in the eastern part of the country.
The Czech Republic has a fairly high feed-in tariff rate of around 0.49 euro per kilowatt hour, however in March, Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer called for cuts in support scheme for solar energy production, because he feared a steep rise in electricity prices and grid instability. And as a matter of fact the Czech parliament has approved Mr. Fischer’s proposal. The bill still needs Senate approval to be passed, but if enacted the country’s Energy Regulatory office will lower the feed-in tariff rates for all new installations in 2011.
However, Premier Power and Plaan Czech are still optimistic that the proposed rate cuts will not hamper the growing market.
