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

? Only after 2004, when the systems were already collapsing, government intervened through

investment programs for revamping, but they were poor;

? Centralized heating owners - local authorities - have not had resources for investments in the
rehabilitation and modernization of these systems;

? The plants were transferred to local authorities with unhonored financial obligations;

? Due to lack of rehabilitation, plants efficiency reaches below 60%, compared to 75% according
to the prior art, and losses rose to levels of 40% compared to 18% which is the recommended
level. If we take into account heat loss through the walls of those still rehabilitated buildings,

losses rose to levels of 50% compared to only 25% which is the recommended level, is obtained
an image of arrearage and uncompetitive centralized heating systems in relation to the real
needs of consumers;

On the other hand, insufficient funds leds to the cancellation of low efficiency systems and decapitalisation
of acceptable efficiency systems. Also, widespread negative publicity of centralized heat supply systems
determined customers to choose the disconnection solution. Another argument of massive disconnection

in favor of the apartment plants, it was the lack of metering at branching and individual, and delays in PROCEEDINGS OF THE 11 TH ADMINISTRATION AND PUBLIC MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ”Strategic Management for Local Communities” 30 th – 31 st October 2015 Bucharest
carrying out due to lack of funds.

Of the 96 heating centralized systems that were in use in 2011, only 15 were shortlisted for access to

European funds (POS environment, Priority Axis 3), and of these only 7 actually benefited from funds,
namely: Timisoara, Iasi, Bacau, Oradea, Botosani, Focsani, Ramnicu-Valcea (Govora).

4. DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF HEATING ACTIVITY IN VARIOUS MUNICIPALITIES

Bucharest

One of the major guidelines of the National Strategy for accelerating the development of community
services of public utilities approved by HG no. 246/2006 is "the management of electric heating plants

reorganization by passing wholly-owned administrative units" (CGBM, 2014).

Public service of thermal energy supply to the users in Bucharest, currently on responsibility of
municipality, does not include the production of heat in cogeneration.

SACET Bucharest, although technically and functionally unified, does not belong entirely to Bucharest
municipality, is therefore exploited, mainly, by:
