Help us through the energy crisis
PROBLEM DEFINITION:
The energy crisis has Romania firmly in its grip. The liberalisation of the electricity market in Romania in 2021 has led to a 25% price increase. There are already gas shortages in Romania and the cost of gas and electricity is skyrocketing!
Our average electricity costs at The Dog Rose are currently CHF 720 per month.
The Romanian government announced in August 2022 that institutions like ours must have solar panels installed by 2025. From the Romanian government's point of view, power cuts for non-essential institutions like a dog shelter will be carried out first.
SOLUTION:
A solar system for our shelter! The cost of installing a solar system is LEI 60'000 ≈ CHF 15'000.- (quote August 2022), so we could solve our electricity and heating problem in one go.
OTHER ADVANTAGES:
Our solar power can be sold to the Romanian state, thus contributing to the financing of The Dog Rose. By installing a solar system we are crisis-proof. Our team's new home can be heated immediately. New gas connections currently take 6-12 months to be installed. The supply of our dogs is secured in winter. The savings can be used for food and medicine. With a solar system we can produce sustainable electricity and therefore it is also beneficial for our environment.
CALL TO ACTION:
This newsletter will be sent to 800 recipients, i.e. if each of you donates CHF 19.-, we will reach our goal so that our team and our animals can get through the freezing winter in good shape.
Thank you very much!
