? on producer-consumer relationship, there is a deficiency of Romanian thermal energy system of
over 40% compared to the best available techniques. This deficit is given by:

- oversizing heating plants in relation to the current heat consumption;
PROCEEDINGS OF THE 11 TH ADMINISTRATION AND PUBLIC MANAGEMENT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
- limited technological performance of existing power plants, according to the
requirements of high efficiently cogeneration;

- significant heat losses in the transportation and distribution system of heat and hot

water heating, which can be reduced only through significant investments;

- additional consumption in Romanian homes with over 25% compared to normal, due
to high heat losses in homes;

? through preservation and development of SACET is possible to achieve the targets set by
Romania as an EU member country regarding energy efficiency, to use of renewable resources
and sustainable development too. Thus, the development of SACET is therefore a strategic

the companies were encumbered by debts which have not recovered from incomes;

? public services (heating, electricity, water-sewerage, urban transportation, natural-gas
distribution) are provided by independent operators. This fact generates malfunctions and extra

costs for each type of public service;

? granting subsidies system was not designed for low-income consumers;

? the use of renewable resources is discouraged for urban cogeneration projects;
