DEVELOPMENT OF HEAT PUBLIC SERVICE SUPPLY - STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE OF LOCAL CCASP
GOVERNMENT

The public service is achieved through specific technical-urban infrastructure belonging to public or private
domain of administrative-territorial units, which form together the centralized supply heat system of
localities - SACET (General Council of Bucharest, 2014).
PROCEEDINGS OF THE 11 TH ADMINISTRATION AND PUBLIC MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
There are two ways of organizing the public service management, as follows:

? direct management, whereby the provision, administration, operation and exploitation of heat
supply centralized system is the responsibility of local public authorities, through the public

services of local and county interest, with or without legal personality;

? delegated management, whereby the provision, concession and operating right and obligation
are assigned by the local public administration authorities to several operators. They are:

commercial companies with full social capital of administrative-territorial units, commercial
companies formed after the reorganization of autonomous administrations of local or county
interest, whose social capital is owned entirely by the administrative-territorial units, and

? A.N.R.E. grants licenses and approve prices for the activity of thermal energy production in
cogeneration;

? A.N.R.S.C. grants licenses and advise prices/rates for the activities of generation, transportation,
distribution and supply of thermal energy (except the thermal energy produced in cogeneration).

Each administrative-territorial unit in which the public service is organized supports of its local budget the

difference between thermal energy local price (consisting of production price and transport services,
distribution and supply of thermal energy price which is approved by the local public administration
authorities) and local price of population (which is the price for thermal energy supplied to the population

through SACET).
