The decentralization process in district heating system in Ukraine needs to be stopped – expert opinion

quotation marksEuropean-Ukrainian Energy Agency opposes decentralization process in the area of district heating in Ukraine. This position was stated during press-conference by Dave Young, Chairman of EUEA Board.

“Ukraine is in the active stage of decentralization process of district heating. In our opinion, this is not the best solution in the context of the whole country, therefore such actions have be stopped. Individual gas boilers which are often installed in homes, are restricting their owners – they are dependent on gas and can not use alternative fuels that can be cheaper “- said Dave Young.

On 24 September 2010 Ukraine joined The Energy Community Treaty (ECT) and on 1 February 2011 became a full member of Energy Community (EnC). By signing the Treaty, Ukraine committed itself to implement the relevant acquis, to develop an adequate regulatory framework and to liberalize its energy market in line with the acquis under the Treaty. We consider that Ukraine’s entry into this international organization will provide an excellent opportunity to start reforms required in its energy sector.

EUEA published the Position Paper “The Need for a Sustainable Electricity Infrastructure for Ukraine and How to Achieve It”

position papersPresented by: Peter Knazko & Bartosz Wojszczyk, GE Energy

A clean, secure, cost effective and sufficient supply of energy is essential for the future of economic growth in Ukraine, as it is in other developed and developing nations. Ukraine has similar challenges as other countries in its region when it comes to creating and maintaining a sustainable electricity grid: a) the pressure of rising energy costs, b) an aging grid infrastructure that negatively affects reliability, c) grid inefficiency due to areas of congestion, especially in cities, that create significant energy losses, d) poor power quality due to non-optimized power grid design, and e) high emissions from traditional electricity generation made worse by the inefficiency of the grid.
