Shifting the Paradigm of District Heating in Ukraine: Joint Steps Towards a Sustainable Energy Future

Project News

Last week, an impor­tant dis­cus­sion on the reform of Ukraine’s dis­trict heat­ing sec­tor took place in Kyiv with­in the frame­work of the ReWarm project. The event brought togeth­er rep­re­sen­ta­tives of gov­ern­ment struc­tures, local com­mu­ni­ties, and inter­na­tion­al part­ners, who shared ideas on inno­v­a­tive solu­tions, leg­isla­tive ini­tia­tives, and oppor­tu­ni­ties for the devel­op­ment of the ener­gy sec­tor.

Dur­ing the meet­ing, pro­pos­als from local author­i­ties of pilot cities (Kyiv, Ode­sa, Kryvyi Rih, Cherni­hiv, Cherkasy, and Zvyagel) were pre­sent­ed, focus­ing on nec­es­sary changes to nation­al leg­is­la­tion aimed at improv­ing the effi­cien­cy of the dis­trict heat­ing sec­tor. The dis­cus­sion also high­light­ed the Euro­pean Invest­ment Bank’s sup­port in the amount of €250 mil­lion for the devel­op­ment of infra­struc­ture in this sec­tor in Ukraine.

Addi­tion­al­ly, inno­v­a­tive bat­tery sys­tems and oth­er tech­nolo­gies were pre­sent­ed, aimed at sig­nif­i­cant­ly improv­ing the effi­cien­cy of dis­trict heat­ing. The expe­ri­ence of Cherkasy in dis­trict heat­ing man­age­ment was also dis­cussed, along with plans to imple­ment new tech­nolo­gies by Diehl Meter­ing to increase ener­gy effi­cien­cy.

The next steps will focus on the imple­men­ta­tion of leg­isla­tive changes, the intro­duc­tion of inno­v­a­tive solu­tions, and the devel­op­ment of part­ner­ships for a sus­tain­able ener­gy future in Ukraine. The ReWarm project con­tin­ues its work, con­tribut­ing to the improve­ment of ener­gy effi­cien­cy and sus­tain­able devel­op­ment of the country’s ener­gy infra­struc­ture.
