Study on identification of guideline projects for the sustainable development of the district heating sector. Bulgaria. Vol. 2. Final report.

摘要

The Bulgarian district heating system was developed under a planned economy, that is now gradually changing to a market economy, at the same time as Bulgaria is in a serious energy crisis. The project's purpose therefore, is to identify projects in the Bulgarian district heating sector for the World Bank, the European Investment Bank, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, that can minimise energy consumption and reduce environmental problems within the Bulgarian district heating sector. The report is divided into two volumes. The first includes ''State-of-the-art'' for the entire energy production, distribution, consumption and energy prices as well as eighteen project proposals including amongst others - (a) identification of defects in the district heating network, (b) improvement of maintenance organisations, (c) metering and regulating projects, (d) district heating legislation under market conditions and (e) utilisation of geothermal resources in the district heating sector. The second volume includes all relevant data and statistical information within the district heating sector in Bulgaria divided into regions, and cities, respectively over and under 50,000 inhabitants. The project is carried out in close cooperation with the Bulgarian authorities and district heating associations. (ERA citation 18:026552)
