| Summary: | This case study aims to analyze the market potential of heat pumps and thermal energy storage
in Romania. It was done at the level of a medium-sized city, the Tulcea Municipality. It was carried
out on the basis of interviews with the main stakeholders of the city, such as the deputy mayor, the
employees of the urban planning department, the director and the employees of Energoterm, the
