We propose establishing Community-Driven Renewable Energy Hubs (CDREH) across Chernivtsi. These hubs will integrate renewable energy sources into public spaces while fostering community engagement and improving psycho-emotional well-being. Each hub will feature solar panels, wind turbines, and multifunctional public areas designed to serve as both energy generators and community centers.
Energy Independence and Sustainability:
- Renewable Energy Integration: By equipping public spaces with solar panels and wind turbines, the CDREH will reduce reliance on non-renewable sources and provide a reliable energy supply for communal facilities, mitigating the impact of blackouts.
- Energy Efficiency: These hubs will include energy storage solutions to manage supply and demand, ensuring a stable energy flow even during periods of low production.
Ecologically Friendly Public Spaces:
- Design and Functionality: Hubs will be designed to be aesthetically pleasing and functional, incorporating features like charging stations, lighting, and green areas that promote social interaction and integration.
- Community Engagement: These spaces will host cultural events, workshops, and social activities, fostering community cohesion and providing a platform for IDPs and locals to connect.
Mental Health and Civic Engagement:
- Supportive Environments: The hubs will be equipped with areas dedicated to creative and recreational activities, helping to alleviate stress and improve mental well-being.
- Inclusive Design: Spaces will be designed to be accessible and welcoming to all residents, promoting civic engagement and participation in local initiatives.
