Participation in the Cluster of the City of Lodz - which has in its resources, among others, a number of municipal buildings, both residential and public utility: schools, hospitals - provides a great opportunity for the implementation of innovations aimed at reducing the impact of the energy crisis on everyday activities and improving the energy efficiency of managed facilities, equipment and installations on a larger scale. It also creates greater opportunities to secure Lodz's energy needs and to use innovative energy sources, including RES. It is also an important element of educational and informational activities for the public, showing how important it is to diversify energy sources and improve the local environment, including air quality.
In 2019, Lodz University of Technology, together with Veolia Energia Lodz, the Institute of Mineral and Energy Economy of the Polish Academy of Sciences and Aquapark Lodz, established the Lodz Energy Wave Cluster. The main directions of the Cluster's activities include, among others, cooperation on the development of energy efficiency in the distribution of generated energy and heat, increasing the use of renewable energy sources, engaging in projects related to the reduction of low emissions and the development of distributed energy and increasing the awareness of society in terms of pro-ecological attitudes.
