Short description of the overall project

This Project Paper seeks to provide additional financing in an amount to the Republic of Serbia (Serbia) for the Energy Efficiency Project. The principal aim of the proposed additional financing is to enable the government to complete the original scope of the project (energy efficiency improvements in 3 social care buildings, 8 schools and 6 hospitals left out due to a cost overrun) and to scale up energy efficiency improvements to include: (a) rehabilitation of the heat supply system of the Nis Clinical Center along with energy efficiency improvements in all 17 contiguous buildings on the campus; complete retrofitted lighting in 10 schools and partial lighting retrofit in 10 schools; and (b) energy efficiency improvements in an additional 7 social care buildings (such as orphanages), 20 schools and 11 hospitals across Serbia. Energy efficiency improvements in four buildings at the University of Kragujevac will also be included.
