The USAID Project developed an investment project for implementing energy efficiency measures for the heat supply system in Zaporizhzhia. Its implementation will improve living conditions for 106,000 households in three districts of the city serviced by “Municipal Heating Networks” Concern: Komunarskyi, Oleksandrivskyi and Voznesenivskyi.

The technical part of the investment project calls for thereconstruction of 17 boilers (total capacity of 800 Gcal/h) in 10 boiler houses: replacement of burners and optimization of their location, reconstruction of the auxiliary systems and automation based on modern technologies. Plans also include the installation of 88 individual heat substations and a SCADA system (automated system for process management). Fulfillment of the whole set of measures is planned forthree years. Project cost is assessed at €10.1 million.

Implementing the project is expected to: reduce annual gas consumption by 8 mln. m3, reduce СО2 emissions by 16,000 t a year, and improve fuel efficiency in the boiler houses.

It is recommended to implement the project with the loan from the European Investment Bank under the Ukraine Municipal Infrastructure Program.
