Smaller district heating systems Cooperation with local farmers for sustainable energy solutions. Gunnarskog2 GWh CO2-reduktion, yearly 600 ton Glava1,5 GWh CO2-reduktion, yearly 500 ton

Local cooperation Glava Energy Center is situated in the community of Arvika, about twenty kilometers south of the town. It´s goal is to be a developing centre on a regional, national and international level and be open to companies and organisations, active in the field of renewable and efficient energy. It is also a centre of energy for children and young people to learn about energy. It has grown up because of FEM, a big transnational European project, about energy and the interest of a local company, wich manufactures parts for solar energy.

Transport We have started a project to increase the number of electric cars and bycycles and building transfer points from truck to railways. At the moment we dont have any figures to present

Energy efficiency in buildings Two upper secundary schools: Solberga - conversion from heat pump and cardioversion into district heating. Taserud -conversion from oil into district heating

Energy efficiency in buildings Additional isolation of facades and attics Replacement of windows Commissioning of heating and ventilation systems Conversion from electric heating to district heating After all activities the overall heat has fallen by 15-20% over a 10-year period, and projects are still going on

Education - energy training Local companies in Arvika such as Thermia and Swegon, who produces and install heating and cooling, have asked for this kind of education. They want to get an overview of energy related issues in buildings. This education is adapted to th needs of business. Last year 18 students were out and 12 of them had got a job immediately after graduation. It has been a great demand of this education and there is a great interest in having another one next year, Arvika Fastighets AB continuously educate their employees in energy issues.

Hydro As a part of the process of energy transition, in 2011 the community bought 26 hydro power stations. The hydro power stations produce about 70 GWh, which is equivalent to the dual needs of Arvikas eletricity.
