EUEA, represented by Member of the Board, Mr. Wolfram Rehbock, attended leading clean tech fair “E World “ in Essen on 8-10.02. The exhibition has grown by 25% in the last year and although still having a strong presence of gas suppliers the new energy sector prevails more and more. A clear focus on the following topics became obvious:
It is widely recognized that current tariffs for district heating are significantly below costs and the implied subsidy is not sustainable. By drawing on examples of successful district heating reforms in other countries in the region, the study shows that Ukraine’s district heating sector requires tariff increases and investments in energy efficiency to ensure financial sustainability and improved quality of service. District heating tariffs should cover the full cost of gas as well as the cost of necessary investments to modernize the system. In order to ensure the affordability of district heating services, the study recommends implementing consumption based billing and reducing heat consumption by about 50 percent through investments in energy efficiency to compensate for the required price increases. In addition, targeted social assistance is necessary to help low income households to cope with the needed tariff increases for energy services.
