Energy Efficiency and Use of Energy from Renewable Sources in BESTIA PET Ltd

On 01.06.2026, "Bestia Pet" Ltd signed grant agreement № BG16RFPR001-2.004-2621-C01 "Energy Efficiency and Use of Energy from Renewable Sources in BESTIA PET Ltd" under procedure BG16RFPR001-2.004 "Energy Efficiency and Use of Energy from Renewable Sources in Enterprises".

The agreement was signed with the Ministry of Innovation and Growth, within whose structure operates the Directorate-General "European Funds for Competitiveness", acting as the Managing Authority of the Programme "Competitiveness and Innovation in Enterprises" 2021–2027.

Brief Description and Objectives

The overall objective of the project is to increase the energy efficiency, competitiveness and sustainable development of "BESTIA PET" Ltd through the deployment of modern energy-saving technologies and equipment, and independent energy sources, which will optimise the consumption of electricity and thermal energy in the company's production premises, reduce operating costs and limit its carbon footprint.

Project Value

The value of the project is €101,252.81, of which €50,626.41 is grant funding (€43,032.45 European funding and €7,593.96 national funding) and €50,626.40 is own co-financing.

Expected Results

Within the implementation of the project proposal, the following results are expected:

• Reducing energy costs through the deployment of energy-saving technologies and equipment, including air-to-air heat pumps — 3 units, energy-saving lighting fixtures — 101 units, and thermal insulation of the external walls of production buildings with sandwich panels;
• Increasing the energy efficiency of the production facility through the installation of an own photovoltaic power plant (PV) with a capacity of 30 kWp and an additional local energy storage system (BESS) with a storage capacity of 30 kWh;
• Promoting the use of energy from renewable sources (RES) through the construction of a photovoltaic system for self-consumption, which will cover a significant part of the production's electricity needs and reduce dependence on external energy suppliers based on fossil fuels;
• Reducing the ecological footprint of the enterprise by limiting the consumption of energy from conventional sources and increasing the share of efficiently used renewable and energy-saving energy in the production process;
• Supporting the sustainable development and competitiveness of "BESTIA PET" Ltd by creating conditions for the optimisation of resources, the deployment of modern technologies and the improvement of the company's financial sustainability;
• Encouraging innovative practices and demonstrating good energy practices for other enterprises in the sector, as the project can serve as an example of efficient energy use and sustainable management of production resources.
