City of Gabrovo

Bulgaria

Population: 50,500

Gabrovo Municipality is a frontrunner in Bulgaria’s energy transition, committed to climate neutrality by 2030 under the EU Cities Mission. Over 90% of its multifamily housing stock, built before 1990, is privately owned and highly inefficient, posing major renovation challenges. The Directorate “Sustainable Development” coordinates climate policy and EU projects, ensuring strong alignment with ZEROit on holistic planning and rapid zero-emission renovations.
