Increasing the Efficiency of Heating Systems in Central and Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union
This report examines the following
questions: Which factors determine the choice of the
economically preferred heating options from a set of
alternatives? Under which circumstances is DH, decentralized
heating with natural gas, or another alternative the
preferred option? How does the institutional environment
have to change in order to foster cost-effective heat supply
and demand? How can the preferred option be implemented when
the countries in Central and Eastern Europe and the former
Soviet Union (CEE/FSU) are in a period of transition? To
answer these questions, case studies of heat generation and
delivery were carried out in 1996 in six CEE/FSU cities
located in the Ukraine, Lithuania, Russia, Bulgaria,
Romania, and Poland. In all six cities, DH is the dominant
technology for supplying heat. This report summarizes the
main findings from the case studies and provides details on
the major issues encountered in modernizing DH systems, the
commercialization of companies in the heating sector, and
requirements for policy changes. It provides examples of
best practices in the reform efforts in CEE/FSU and of
investments designed to make heating more efficient.
