摘要

At the request of Congress, the U.S. Agency for International Development (AID) funded an assessment of the infrastructure needs of countries in the former Soviet bloc, consisting of the republics of Central and Eastern Europe, the Baltic States, the Newly Independent States (NIS), and Mongolia. This paper presents a summary of the findings submitted to AID's Office of Capital Projects and Engineering. It describes the current status and outlook of the thermal electric infrastructure in the region and points to capital project opportunities for U.S. products and services. The specific republics studied are listed in Table 1.
