The heating network in Bucharest is facing significant losses, reaching 1,860 tons of hot water per hour, which puts pressure on ELCEN's operations. This situation leads to inadequate thermal agent supply and affects electricity production. ELCEN must compensate for these losses, resulting in excessive strain on their facilities. The current water supply exceeds contractual limits, indicating severe operational risks. If losses persist, ELCEN may struggle to meet system demands, impacting both thermal and electrical energy supply. The issue highlights the need for simultaneous modernization of both ELCEN and the distribution network to ensure reliable service for residents.
