PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
In Ukraine, district heating (DH) is an important pillar for supplying private households, municipalities and industry with heat: 60 percent of the Ukrainian population as well as municipal and industrial consumers receive their heat from more than 200 - mostly municipal - district heating companies. These use gas to generate the heat.
The Russian Federation's (RF) war of aggression damaged or destroyed essential energy infrastructure in Ukraine. Targeted attacks by the RF on this infrastructure and suspended gas supplies are major challenges for Ukraine in supplying its citizens. Ukraine must therefore increasingly look for permanent alternatives to ensure the supply of district heating in cities.
In addition, the state subsidizes the supply of heat to Ukrainian consumers. The district heating systems are at the same time outdated, not very energy efficient and cause high CO2 emissions. Municipal district heating companies are usually in debt and are therefore often unable to modernize their district heating systems.
Objective
A national district heating strategy is developed and contributes to reducing CO2 in the heat industry in Ukraine.
Approach
The project supports the Ukrainian Ministry for the Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure in developing a national district heating strategy. The project advises on adapting the legal framework. It also supports the pilot implementation of adapted business models for municipal district heating companies, including cost-covering, socially cushioned district heating tariffs.
