Romania extends Thermal Heating Program’s implementation

The Government has extended the implementation period for the Thermal Heating Program 2006-2015 until 2020. The program includes various investments in the generation, transmission and distribution of thermal energy. The Government has allocated a total amount of EUR 480 million. However, only EUR 95 million have been used so far to finance the program. The rest of the amount, namely EUR 384 million, will be allocated to finance the program between 2015 and 2020, reports local Hotnews,ro. The program plans to modernize the thermal power plants, but also to increase the quality of thermal energy supply services, by reducing the system’s losses. It also supports combined heat and power (cogeneration) plants. editor@romania-insider.com
