The reasons why many residents connected to the district heating network either do not have hot water and / or heat at all or receive them in inappropriate parameters are various. Throughout the list of affected buildings we find explanations such as: “primary network damage repair”, “insufficient operating parameters of the heating agent”, “insufficient parameters CET South”, the last two being the most common.
For some affected areas, problems with heat supply have appeared since December 5, and the remedy was scheduled for this morning. Of the over 3,400 buildings affected, most are in sectors 3 and 2: over 1,500 buildings are in sector 3 and around 1,000 buildings in sector 2 of the Capital. It is followed by sector 5 with over 375 affected buildings and sector 1 with about 240 buildings. The fewest breakdowns are reported in sector 4, according to the data on Thermoergetics, which Economica.net consulted.

In addition to the problems of the Thermoenergetica network, last weekend there was a breakdown at the South Central Electric Heating System (CET), the effect of which spread to some of the energy equipment causing their triggering, announced Electrocentrale București (Elcen) , the operator of the plant.
“The damage caused to CET Bucharest South, remedied during today (Saturday, n.red). The Elcen teams mobilized immediately and intervened promptly to limit the effects of the incident during the night. Within a few hours, the maneuvers performed allowed the return to 75% of the operating parameters so that, at this moment, the installations and aggregates from CET Bucharest South are in the process of returning to nominal parameters.During this day, the normal situation before incident, “Elcen announced on Saturday.
The company’s representatives again drew attention to the serious technical condition of the district heating network, which in recent years has lacked major repairs and absolutely essential investments in modernization, which has led to an explosive increase in losses, which have tripled since 2016 so far, putting huge pressure on Elcen’s energy facilities as well.
The inhabitants of the Capital were warned by the new administration of the city that they will have problems in the supply of thermal energy this winter as well, due to the precarious situation of the distribution network.
The mayor of the capital, Nicușor Dan, said in the middle of last month that the condition of the main network of Termoenergetica (former RADET) is three times worse than three years ago, and the solution for possible damages will be quick intervention and prompt communication. transparent with the affected citizens.
As for solving the problem of heat and hot water in this cold season, Nicușor Dan specified on November 18 that there will be numerous damages, but there are teams and materials that can be intervened as soon as possible.
“We will have hundreds of damages. The report we received when we signed the contract for that financing is that in the last year we had 1,700 damages. We will have hundreds of damages, the promise is to intervene as soon as possible. “There is a medium-term solution. There is a breakdown solution to make sure there are enough teams and equipment and there are people to be informed about the problem. I said in the campaign. There is no more. The solution is medium-term and a to start the works in the spring “, the then general mayor of the Capital explained.
