Câtă căldură de la „RADET” vor avea bucureștenii iarna asta? 635 km de rețea din 4.000, modernizați în 6 ani • Newsweek România

Bucharest's heating network modernization is slow, with only 635 km upgraded out of 4,000 km in six years. The central heating system, the largest after Moscow's, is aging, with over 60% of primary pipes over 25 years old. Termoenergetica serves 1.2 million residents, but faces significant debt and operational challenges. The mayor suggests creating a centralized heating system to improve efficiency and reduce losses. Current losses are high, with a real thermal energy loss of 38%. The price of thermal energy is politically set, leading to financial strain on the company. The proposed solution involves transferring production and transport responsibilities to the municipality.
